World Cup Tips Uruguay – Saudi Arabia

Uruguay wants to continue and secure its place in 8th. Saudi Arabia hopes to clinch its first point in the competition.

State of form

Amsud’s second qualifying round, Uruguay has perfectly met expectations by directly validating its ticket for the 2018 World Cup. As a preparation, the Celeste has played only one friendly match, largely won against Uzbekistan (3-0). Long unlucky against Egypt for their first match of the World Cup, Diego Godin’s partners finally ripped off the 3 points thanks to a header from Gimenez at the very end of the match (1-0).
Absent from the last two editions, Saudi Arabia is making a comeback in the most prestigious international competitions this summer in Russia. In the playoffs, Juan Antonio Pizzi’s men took second place behind Japan but ahead of Australia, the United Arab Emirates, Iraq and Thailand. Before going to Russia, they played 5 friendlies. The selection was first against Algeria (2-0) and Greece (2-0), before losing to Italy (1-2), Peru (0-3 ) and Germany (1-2). Totally overwhelmed, the partners of Mohammad Al-Sahlawi took a huge slap against Russia during the first day of this world (5-0).

The staff for Uruguay – Saudi Arabia

Excellent defensively, Uruguay relies on an excellent goalkeeper in the person of Muslera and defenders accustomed to evolve together like the two stoppers at Atletico Madrid, Gimenez (scorer against Egypt) and Godin. In front, the offensive duo consisting of Cavani and Suarez has enough to shake many teams. The presence of midfielders Vecino and Betancur brings a technical touch to this training.
Composed of elements evolving for the most part in the domestic championship, the Saudi selection appears much inferior to its opponent of the day. Argentine coach Juan Antonio Pizzi will still be able to rely on his goleador Al-Sahlawi (Al-Nassr, 28 goals in 39 selections). Substitute in the first match, midfielder Levante Fahad Al-Muwallad (10 goals in 44 caps) is yet one of the best players in this training.

Probable compositions for Uruguay – Saudi Arabia (appointment at 16h for the official songs):
Uruguay: Muslera – Varela, Giménez, Godín, Caceres – Nandez (or C.Rodriguez), Bentancur, Vecino, De Arrascaeta (or C.Sanchez) – Suárez, Cavani.
Saudi Arabia: Al-Mayuf – Al Shahrani, Om. Hawsawi, Os. Hawsawi, Al-Buyark – Otayf, Al-Faraj, Al-Jassam, Al-Dawsari, Al-Shehri – Al-Sahlawi (or Al-Muwallad).
