Portugal vs Uruguay Prediction: The Portuguese will qualify for the World Cup play-offs early

Check out our prediction for Portugal vs Uruguay match on November 28, 2022. What to expect from the 2022 World Cup group stage encounter?

Portugal

Portugal's qualifying performance was not without problems. The team failed to qualify directly for Qatar, so they fought for it in the knockout stages. The Portuguese were due to face Italy in the final round, but that was if North Macedonia, who pulled off an unlikely sensation by beating the Euro 2020 winners 1-0. Of course, Ronaldo and company had no serious difficulties with the Macedonians, winning 2-0.

The Portuguese team had a fairly confident start at World Cup 22. In the first leg, they earned the expected victory over the team from Ghana with a difference of one goal (3-2). It should be noted that the encounter was awesome - World Cup style. Lots of goals, plenty of dangerous chances, passion, and good football. We hope the Portuguese will not be content with just one such match.

Uruguay

There was no doubt in anyone's mind that Uruguay would end up in Qatar. The team has a lively and experienced squad, so qualifying proved to be one of the easiest stages. It should be noted that the Uruguayans finished third in the standings, only behind Brazil and Argentina, who are among the main favorites for the Mundial. 

Uruguay has an excellent chance of passing to the 2022 World Cup playoffs. Its opponents in the group are Portugal, South Korea, and Ghana. Yes, the Uruguayans failed to earn three points in the first round. They drew nil with the Koreans, but all is not yet lost. A victory in the upcoming game could lead the Uruguayan team to victory in Group H. 

Expert Betting Tips

Bookmakers see Portugal as the favourite. On paper, the Portuguese have a much stronger squad, led by Cristiano Ronaldo, who is motivated to win as much as possible. On the other hand, Uruguay also has a number of big-name players, but judging from the game against South Korea, they lack chemistry. The Portuguese team can play very interesting offensively, but they've forgotten about the defense since they've conceded two goals to Ghana, the group's main underdog. We suggest betting on a double chance for the home team.
