Uruguay vs Cape Verde Islands Prediction (21.06.2026)

Uruguay had plenty of shots, chances, and corners against Saudi Arabia in the first match, but only managed a 1:1 draw. This marked their fifth consecutive match without a win, and they need to tighten up as they face Spain next. The lack of effectiveness lately is evident. Moreover, 13 of Uruguay's last 14 matches had under 3.5 goals, with 11 of those having under 2.5.

Cape Verde's debut at a World Cup will be remembered. The team held a goalless draw against favorites Spain and showed that they should not be easily dismissed. They also have only one loss in regular time over their last 16 matches. After earning their first point, the team is now dreaming of something more – their first win or at least their first goal at the World Cup.

Luck was not on Uruguay's side in the first match of the tournament. Cape Verde had that luck. However, this time I expect Uruguay to score at least one of their chances, even though the team hasn't been scoring much lately, so I would combine a win for the "Celeste" with under 3.5 goals in the match.
