Portugal v Uruguay official line-ups: scorers’ predictions, cautions and shoot-outs for today’s match at 20:00 on Monday 28 November
Portugal to close out qualification. Uruguay, on the other hand, to keep it alive after the draw on the opening day and after Ghana’s victory, which is now at three. In any case, the South American side will stay alive after tonight’s match. And that is already a good thing after a so-so debut. On the other hand, Ronaldo and his teammates want to put the exclamation mark on the last day to relax and to think about the round of 16. The Lusitanian side believe in it, and will rely once again and as always on Cristiano Ronaldo up front. However, here are the official line-ups and our predictions for goalscorers, shooters, cautioned
- PORTOGALLO:Costa; Cancelo, Dias, Pepe, Mendes; Bernardo Silva, Carvalho, Neves; Bruno Fernandes; Ronaldo, Joao Felix.
- URUGUAY: Rochet; Gimenez, Godin, Coates, Olivera; Valverde, Bentancur, Vecino; Varela, Cavani, Nunez.
Portugal v Uruguay official line-ups, goalscorers’ prediction
Cristiano Ronaldo
Always and only Cristiano Ronaldo, who shattered another record with his goal in the match against Ghana. Someone like him, who now, let’s remember, is without a team after ending his experience with Manchester United, always wants to win and score. And as the set-pieces are all his stuff too, then we point to him as a possible goalscorer in this match.
Official line-up Portugal v Uruguay, prediction shooters and cautions
It will be a very rough match, at least that is the feeling at the moment. So watch out for the possibility of several cautions. On the one hand there is Godin, who with the experience he has could certainly read the various game situations in advance, but under the physical aspect he could certainly pay something. In Portugal instead, watch out for the usual Pepe, a surprise starter. Chapter shooters: among the Lusitanians, the surprise could be Psg’s Nuno Mendes, one who in addition to having the pace for the offensive sortie also has those ballistic qualities that could be useful. Watch out in this respect for Bentancur too.
