Ghana and Uruguay take on each other in a crunch World Cup game as both sides can qualify for the knockout stages. Both of these teams have a chance to join Portugal, which has already advanced from Group H. Ghana would go to the next round with a win, while Portugal would advance with a draw if they win their match against South Korea. As for Uruguay, they must win in order to progress, but South Korea also needs to lose in order for them to do so.
Ghana team news
Gideon Mensah, a left back, was taken off late in the game over South Korea but subsequently revealed he was only suffering from a cramp, indicating he should be fine to play again.
Uruguay team news
The Barcelona center-back Ronald Araujo hasn’t appeared yet and may not appear at all due to a recurrence of the injury that almost prevented him from competing in the first place. Araujo isn’t anticipated to return until the final rounds, but considering Uruguay’s difficulties thus far, he might not have the opportunity.
Ghana vs Uruguay World Cup score prediction
Uruguay has no other choice but to take the risk. The only thing that will do is triumph, and even that might not be enough. In an effort to secure the victory, the South Americans may unleash all three of Darwin Nunez, Luis Suarez, and Edinson Cavani, and that kind of firepower might be too much for a Ghana team that hasn’t yet shown itself on the defensive. Despite this, Jordan Ayew is currently at the height of his playmaking prowess and will want to exploit any openings created by Uruguay’s relentless pursuit of the win. Expect goals, but Uruguay should be able to complete the task.
Prediction: Ghana 1-3 Uruguay
