AI match recap
Group H is wide open after both sides opened with draws, but the mood around the teams is very different. Uruguay were frustrated by Saudi Arabia and now have to show more incision, while Cape Verde arrive with real belief after shutting out Spain. This looks like a classic territory-versus-resistance match, with Bielsa's side pushing high and Bubista's team trying to choke the game into a slow rhythm. The biggest swing factors are Uruguay's ability to break a compact block and the unresolved team-news question around a couple of key names in their spine.
Head-to-head analysis
