Preliminary Review and Match Statistics for Portugal vs Uruguay
Portugal
Portugal completely dominated the first half of their opening game with Ghana but failed to score. It was a frantic second half though as the Selecao managed to open the scoring through a Ronaldo penalty who became the only player to have scored in five World Cups.
Nevertheless, coach Fernando Santos’s men accomplished the first mission and grabbed all three points. Now Santos knows it will be a tough game with Uruguay who beat the Portuguese in 2018 by playing tough deep defense and relying on the counterattacks.

Uruguay
It was a disappointing start to the Qatar 2022 World Cup campaign by Uruguay as they drew with South Korea in their opener. La Celeste’s stars couldn’t manage a single shot on goal in 90 minutes as did the Koreans and was the only match in the WC with such a stat.
Coach Diego Alonso will most certainly adopt the same strategy that his predecessor Oscar Tabarez did in 2018 against the Portuguese. Uruguay are known for their aggressive defense and if they can incorporate that with quick counterattacks, La Celeste may be with a chance to grab all points on Monday.
Portugal vs Uruguay Prediction
The bookmakers are favoring Portugal to win this match who look very strong offensively on the field and on the bench. Uruguay players know all of their opponents too well to let allow them to play as they please. In conclusion, we think this match could go either way and thus will back a double chance of winning for both teams.
