Portugal vs Uruguay, November 28: Head-to-Head Statistics, Line-ups, Prediction for the 2022 World Cup Match

Portugal defeated Ghana in their opening match, and Cristiano Ronaldo became the first player to score in five World Cup tournaments. However, they will undoubtedly face a more challenging task against Uruguay.

Fernando Santos' team hasn't been convincing, and they may have even been fortunate to escape the Ghana encounter with three points.

While Uruguay wasn't exactly the most advanced during their match with South Korea, they possess the attacking talent necessary to hurt Portugal.

With a star-studded roster available this year, Portugal is currently leading their FIFA World Cup group. The Iberian giants defeated Ghana by a narrow margin of 3-2 in their previous game, and they'll try to up their game in this rematch. They will be looking to be more formidable since they barely survived during the Ghana tie.

If the Portuguese did finish first in this division, they would face the runner-up in Group G, who could be Brazil, Switzerland, Cameroon, or Serbia. They have not advanced past the round of 16 level of a World Cup championship since 2006.

The Portugal national team is not thought to be among the favorites to win in Qatar, but it would be an interesting tale if Ronaldo could lead this team to World Cup victory given how the 37-year-old's recent events have played out.

Portugal form( All competitions) - (W,L,W,L,W,W).

Diego Godin hit the post in Uruguay's tournament opener against South Korea, and Federico Valverde slammed one onto the woodwork late in the match, which ended in a scoreless draw.

On matchday two, Diego Alonso's team can neither advance nor be eliminated, but a poor performance would undoubtedly make them worried going into their last group stage match versus Ghana.

Uruguay has won the World Cup twice, in 1930 and 1950, and has performed well in their last three competitions, placing fourth in 2010, making it to the round of 16, and reaching the quarterfinals in Russia four years ago.

La Celeste, despite getting one point in their opening match, will still be confident in their ability to advance through this group given their wealth of experience in reaching the World Cup's latter rounds.

In their Qatar tour for the World Cup Championship, Uruguay has again turned to its experienced stars, but it is still unclear whether Godin, Martin Caceres, Cavani, and Luis Suarez will be enough to assist the squad advance to the round of 16.

Uruguay form(All competitions) - (W,D,W,L,W,D).

Expected Portugal National team starting XI vs Uruguay(4-3-3): Costa; Cancelo, Dias, Danilo, Guerreiro; Bernardo, Neves, Carvalho; Fernandes, Ronaldo, João Felix

Expected Uruguay starting XI vs Portugal(4-3-3): Pochet; Caceres, Godin, Gimenez, Olivera; Valverde, Bentancur, Vecino; Pellistri, Suarez, Nunez.

Bookies have Portugal as a clear favorite to win this fixture due to the star studded squad including Cristiano Ronaldo, who is capable of turning a match on his own. Uruguay, however, are no pushovers and are given odds of 4.16 to win this difficult group match.

Odds on Cristiano Ronaldo to score at any time during the match are at 2.3 and this is highly likely to happen since he is also the one on duty for penalties.

Although Portugal struggled on defense against Ghana, their wealth of talent at the front allowed them to win a crucial three points. Despite anticipating a tight game on Monday, we think Portugal will have what it takes to win and secure their spot in the competition's knockout round with one game remaining. The safest prediction for us is a double chance: Portugal win or Draw.
