Uruguay takes on the visitors Portugal at “Fisht Olympic Stadium” in a battle of the 1/8 final stage of the 2018 FIFA World Cup Russia. The match will be played in Sochi on Saturday, June 30th.
Uruguay is two-times champion of the FIFA World Cup, thus, it’s no wonder that the team is expected much at each international competition, especially, when it shows strong football. With Luis Suarez and Edinson Cavani on board “La Celeste” looks very tough and is quite able to reach advanced stages as mainly because of these two the Uruguayans faced no problems in their group. In the recent encounters conducted Uruguay has beaten Russia 3:0, Egypt 1:0 and Saudi Arabia 1:0.

In its turn, Portugal is the reigning European champion. The side demonstrates rather solid play which pleases its supporters. At this moment “A Seleccao das Quinas” has no problems with Cristiano Ronaldo leading his teammates ahead. It was him who enabled the visitors to collect four points at the group stage which allowed it to promote from the Play Offs. In the previous clashes Portugal have earned two draws against Spain 3:3 and Iran 1:1 as well as 1:0 victory over Morocco.
Uruguay has never met with Portugal before. At this point it’s quite difficult to define the favourite of the upcoming fight as both sides look rather tough, having rock-solid defense, therefore, I wouldn’t expect for many scored goals in their head-to-head.
Prediction for the match: Under 2.0 scored goals.
