Portugal vs Uruguay Prediction and Betting Tips (28.11.2022)

Command Analysis

Portugal

Portugal raised some concerns in the qualifying matches - they failed to beat Serbia and finished in second place. Instead of a direct ticket to Qatar, they had to play two rounds of playoffs. Their opponents were Turkey and North Macedonia, and Portugal managed to easily get past them.

Fernando Santos' men were the favourites in Group H before the start of the tournament, and they currently are in 1st place, but the team didn't look much better than Ghana in the first match. The game was very close and could have gone either way (3:2). Portugal need a win to secure the top-2 finish.

Uruguay

Uruguayhad a disappointing performance in the World Cup qualifiers. The Sky-Blues lost several games in a row and dropped out of the direct qualification zone, but under the leadership of Diego Alonso, they managed to bounce back and finish in the top-3.

Uruguay got very difficult group. South Korea played at every World Cup in the last 40 years, Ghana have a powerful squad and a fighting spirit, and Portugal are one of the favourites at this World Cup. Uruguay was disappointing in the first game. The team played poorly and got held to a 0:0 draw by South Korea.

Tip and bets

1.97Portugal to win

Uruguay team was terrible in the first game. They had a better team on paper, but couldn't do anything against South Korea and had only one shot on target. Portugal were much more interesting in their first game. We think, Ronaldo and team will make a short work of this Uruguay and secure a ticket to the knockouts.

Our prediction – Portugal to win

3.55Portugal to win by 1 goal

Portugal made too many mistakes on defense and conceded two goals to Ghana (and could have conceded more). We expect them to be more focused on defense in the upcoming game.
