Uruguay saw 2+ goals in their opening game against Saudi Arabia as they were held to a 1-1 draw. This is a really important game for Marcelo Bielsa’s side, it’s pretty much a must win as they face Spain in their final group game and it’s plausible that Spain may need a result in that game to top the group so getting three points here is essential.
Uruguay are quite a frantic side and play with a lot of intensity which is normal for Bielsa’s sides. They’ve seen 2+ goals in four of their last six international matches, there are some 0-0 draws in this recent run but I don’t see that being the scoreline here given that Uruguay do need the three points to avoid a very nervy contest against Spain in their final group match.
Cape Verde are capable of contributing to the goal tally too, they’d scored in each of their four games prior to the 0-0 draw with Spain and looked like they could put something together in transition with Uruguay bound to leave gaps at the back as they did against Saudi Arabia.
