Uruguay: Uruguay Fight for Group H Second

Uruguay need a result here to ensure second place in Group H. Bielsa won't approach this cautiously — Núñez and Valverde will press Spain from the first whistle, attempting to disrupt their possession-based buildup.

Their historical record against Spain is respectable — wins at the 1950 World Cup. Bielsa's press could create enough turnovers to make this competitive.

Spain: Spain Rotate but Stay Sharp

Spain arrive having already secured top spot. De la Fuente will rotate Pedri and Gavi but keep Yamal, who needs rhythm ahead of the knockout rounds. A rotated Spain still has enough quality to beat Uruguay.

Even Spain's B team operates the same 4-3-3 positional play system — ball recycling and finding Yamal in pockets. Uruguay will struggle to press efficiently enough.

Head-to-Head

Uruguay lead World Cup meetings 2-1. Spain lead recent friendlies 2-1.
