Uruguay arrive needing only a draw but will push for a win to potentially secure second place. Núñez and Valverde against Cabo Verde's back four is the most lopsided individual matchup in Group H — expect multiple goals.
Bielsa may rotate slightly but will field a strong eleven. Uruguay's pressing system should win the ball high and convert early — making this a comfortable afternoon.
Cabo Verde will finish their first World Cup with a loss against Uruguay. The experience they've gained in Group H will shape the next generation of Cape Verdean football.
Ryan Mendes will play his last competitive international — a moment of pride for the nation regardless of the scoreline.
No prior meetings. First competitive encounter.
