Uruguay Preview

Uruguay enter ranked No. 16 in the FIFA ranking released on 11 June 2026. Their listed recent form is D D D L W, with 6 goals scored and 5 conceded across the current public sample. Uruguay drew 1-1 with Saudi Arabia, so Bielsa needs sharper finishing after heavy second-half pressure.

Uruguay can control the game if Valverde, Ugarte, and Bentancur win the midfield lane early. Nunez gives them a direct penalty-box route, while Maxi Araujo can attack the far post from the left. The key question is whether Uruguay can turn pressure into an early goal before Cabo Verde settle into a compact block.

Uruguay Current Form and Key Players

Federico Valverde is Uruguay’s key player because his ball carrying, late shooting, and midfield pressure can break a low defensive shape. Muslera, Araujo, Ugarte, and Nunez give the side senior authority through the spine. Uruguay need Valverde higher between lines, Nunez attacking the first ball, and the full-backs sustaining pressure without leaving counter lanes.

Cabo Verde can frustrate Uruguay if they keep the distances short and protect the centre. Vozinha gives the side a clear last line after his Spain performance, while Ryan Mendes and Jovane Cabral can carry the ball into transition. The first pass after recovery will decide whether Cabo Verde can escape pressure.

Cabo Verde Current Form and Key Players

Vozinha gives Cabo Verde their main shot stopping and box command route. Logan Costa, Stopira, and Kevin Pina must keep the defensive block connected. Cabo Verde need Vozinha to repeat his Spain display, Stopira to protect the left side, and Ryan Mendes to carry counters into space.
