Portugal vs Uruguay Lineups, Head to Head and Score Prediction 1-0
The Portugal vs Uruguay match was held on the second matchday of Group H at the Lusail Stadium, Qatar, Tuesday (29/11/2022) early morning WIB.
Portugal is one more win towards the last 16 of the 2022 World Cup. In the first match, Portugal won dramatically over Ghana with a score of 3-2.
On the other hand, Uruguay cannot qualify or be eliminated regardless of the result against Portugal. Because, Luis Suarez cs drew 0-0 against South Korea in the previous game.
Cristiano Ronaldo and his colleagues will also carry out a revans mission against La Celeste. Uruguay is the team that knocked out Portugal in the round of 16 of the 2018 World Cup Russia.
At that time, Uruguay won over Portugal with a score of 2-1 in Sochi thanks to a brace by Edinson Cavani.
This result also thwarted Portugal's ambition to marry the 2018 World Cup title with Euro 2016.
Portugal have not gone further than the last 16 since the 2006 World Cup, when they reached the semi-finals.
Portugal have lost just one of their 13 World Cup group stage games, the only defeat coming when they lost to Germany at the 2014 World Cup.
On the other hand, Uruguay has the opportunity to become the first team to keep a clean sheet in six consecutive matches in the World Cup group stages.
