Uruguay will be eager to get their World Cup campaign back on track when they face Cape Verde in their second Group H match. As La Celeste showed character in a 1-1 draw with Saudi Arabia, especially after the break, we predict a 1-0 home win. Marcelo Bielsa's registered an impressive 22 goal attempts in the second half alone and were unfortunate not to claim all three points. Darwin Nunez is unlikely to start after an ineffective display, with Agustin Canobbio pushing for a place in the starting XI. Ronald Araujo remains sidelined, but the Barcelona defender is expected to be available for the final group game. Uruguay's recent record remains solid, with six clean sheets in their last ten matches and only 0.8 goals conceded per game.
Cape Verde, meanwhile, produced one of the defensive performances of the opening round by holding Spain to a goalless draw. Veteran goalkeeper Vozinha was outstanding as the Blue Sharks weathered constant pressure. However, Bubista's men may have to cope without winger Jovane Cabral, who is doubtful after picking up a knock against Spain, with Willy Semedo ready to step up. While Cape Verde have proven difficult to break down, they are still searching for their first away win in their last four matches and face a far more urgent Uruguay side.
Bielsa's men dominated Saudi Arabia and should capitalize on their chances this time. Therefore, we are tempted to bet on Home Win, alongside Under 3.5 and Under 2.5 goals (Uruguay are defensively solid, while Cape Verde have already shown their ability to frustrate stronger opponents).
This World Cup 2026 match will be played on Monday 22 June 2026 at 23:00.
