Portugal and Uruguay are meeting tonight in the eagerly anticipated group H match.
In their opening match of the 2022 FIFA World Cup, Portugal had to work hard to defeat Ghana, but they ultimately came out on top. Portugal will now want to secure their place in the knockout rounds with a second straight victory at the competition. Portugal needs to enhance their defensive play. Pepe is a part of the lineup, as we can see.
It will be difficult for Uruguay to get past the group stage after being held to a scoreless stalemate by South Korea, and this matchup with Portugal could add to that pressure. Uruguay must win this match in order to remain competitive, and despite their goalless draw with South Korea, they undoubtedly possess the offensive talent necessary to hurt Portugal as Edinson Cavani starts too. Here’s how they are lining up:
Federico Valverde, a midfielder for Uruguay, is considered to be their main threat by Portugal.
โHeโs a tough player to stop. He is a good team player, a strong player,โ said Bernardo Silva. โHeโs one of the best midfielders in the world, not just with the ball but without the ball too. He does a lot to create space for his teammates.โ
In his debut World Cup game, Valverde, 24, was chosen man of the match against South Korea.
