Portugal clash with Uruguay at the Lusail Iconic Stadium, in one of the showpiece matchups of the World Cup group stages. The Portuguese might have claimed a significant 3-2 victory over Ghana in a thrilling game for the objective viewer, yet it was far from a perfect performance. On the bright side, a win against the Uruguayans will all but ensure their passage to the Round of 16. Uruguay met their fate earlier in the day, failing to break down South Korea’s resolute defensive block to eventually concede a scoreless draw. They now need to claim at least the draw here, as defeat at Lusail will make their position extremely precarious come the third and final match day of the group.
Portugal are slight favourites in this one, with their win offered at odds of 1.95. Uruguay’s lacklustre opening game performance looks to have influenced bookmakers’ opinions on their probabilities, with their victory found at odds of 4.20. Those looking to back a draw in this one can get odds of 3.40.

Portugal - Uruguay: Form Analysis
In one of the games of the tournament so far, Portugal clinched a stressful albeit important 3-2 win over Ghana. After an uneventful first half, the Portuguese opened the scoring, courtesy of a historic Cristiano Ronaldo penalty kick (the only player to have scored in five World Cup tournaments), yet their response to that was disappointing, conceding a quick equaliser. The way they handled the game after increasing their lead to 3-1 should also raise some red flags, with Portugal being complacent in defence and almost conceding an equaliser at the final kick of the game. On the upside, the Portuguese have now won five of their last seven games, scoring seventeen times in the process and keeping four clean sheets. With regards to Uruguay, they just could not find the breakthrough against a defensively rigid South Korean defence. It looks like the marrying of the old guard with the emerging youth talent is easier said than done, while questions could also be raised from relatively inexperienced manager Diego Alonso, who has only ten games under his belt with his new side. On a positive note, the Uruguayan outfit managed to pick up at the second half, striking the post twice and could have emerged as winners with a bit more luck and focus on their finishing. They have also scored in seven of their last ten games, while they famously eliminated Portugal in the Round of 16 of the 2018 World Cup, in a game that should serve as a blueprint for this one.
Cristiano Ronaldo wrote his name with golden letters in World Cup history on Thursday, becoming the only player to score in five World Cup tournaments. While his finishing let him down in other instances, Fernando Santos should rejoice the stellar performances of Joao Felix and Rafael Leao in this game, who showed that they can step up when their star man is not on his day. Headlines around Uruguay’s camp are revolving around the poor showing of stalwart Luis Suarez, who looked harmless at the edge of the box and had to be substituted. Darwin Nunez also displayed some of the problems of his early Liverpool tenure, getting into the right positions yet rushing many of his shots. On a bright note, Fede Valverde encompassed all the passion that Uruguay had in the game, while he struck a beautiful shot late on that was stopped by the bar.
Portugal - Uruguay Key Points
Uruguay have lost just one of their last ten games
Uruguay have won four of their last six World Cup games
Uruguay have kept clean sheets in seven of their last eight games
Portugal have won just one of their last seven games against the FIFA ranking's top 20 teams
Portugal have failed to win in three of their last five away games
In what should be a fierce showdown between two teams desperate for the win, the odds should be more evenly matched. Portugal were not as convincing as their victory over Ghana might suggest, while Uruguay need to push for the win after their opening game draw. Under such circumstances, backing La Celeste’s double chance is the value play in this matchup.
