Uruguay Vs Spain Preview
After their 2-2 draw against Cape Verde last time out, Uruguay may have to rely on lady luck to clinch a top-two berth. Although third could be enough to see them progress, there are a whole host of Group H permutations that means the South Americans could finish anywhere between 1st and 4th.
With that in mind, Marcelo Bielsa will instruct his side to do all they can to beat the Euro 2024 winners. Which is easier said than done. The Uruguay vs Spain odds favour the European heavyweights and Luis de la Fuente’s team also need to secure their own passage into the round of 32.
