Uruguay vs Cape Verde Moneyline Prediction
- Moneyline Pick: Uruguay
- Odds: -205 (Tonybet)
Despite their 27 total shots (10 on target), 14 corners, 67% possession, and 1.72-0.66 xG advantage, Uruguay had to settle for a 1-1 draw against Saudi Arabia in their 2026 FIFA World Cup opener.
La Celeste undoubtedly deserved more from the match, but their inability to find the back of the net once again proved costly. That has become a recurring issue, as the draw against Saudi Arabia extended Uruguay’s winless run to five games (D4, L1).
However, they’ve also lost just one of their last 10 encounters across all competitions (W4, D5, L1), suggesting that a little more composure in front of goal could quickly change their fortunes.

They’ll need to be sharper against a Cape Verde side that held Spain scoreless in the opener. The African team extended their undefeated run to four matches (90 min: W2, D2) with that impressive draw, despite Spain generating 2.10 xG and holding 74% possession.
On paper, Uruguay are the better squad by a wide margin, but Cape Verde have already proven they can defy expectations. It won’t be easy for the two-time World Cup winners, but the chances of their opponents replicating the same defensive display – and enjoying the same fortune – are low. They won’t be easy to break down, but in the end, Uruguay should have enough quality to win here.
Uruguay vs Cape Verde Player Prop
- Prop Bet: Federico Viñas to score anytime
- Odds: +154 (Tonybet)
Even though Viñas didn’t find the back of the net in the draw against Saudi Arabia, he led the team with five shots and was much more dangerous than Darwin Núñez. With the Al-Hilal striker set to start on the bench, Viñas should lead the way against a crowded Cape Verde defence. If he remains as involved as he was in the opener, he has a good chance of finding the back of the net here.
Uruguay vs Cape Verde Same Game Parlay
- SGP: Both teams not to score + Under 3.5 goals + Uruguay over 6.5 corners
- Odds: +260 (Tonybet)
While the “both teams not to score” market offers limited value on its own, it becomes much more appealing as part of this three-leg parlay.
Cape Verde created very little offensively against Spain, and that’s not likely to change against a Uruguay side that’s widely expected to control the game just as they did against Saudi Arabia.
Their expected dominance should also help La Celeste clear the 6.5-corner line. They racked up 14 corners against Saudi Arabia, but expecting a goal-filled match would be a stretch. Uruguay haven’t scored more than one goal in seven of their last eight outings, and nine of their last 10 overall have fallen under the 3.5-goal threshold.
Uruguay vs Cape Verde Team News
Uruguay Team News
Manager Marcelo Bielsa is bound to make several changes to the starting lineup following the lacklustre draw against Saudi Arabia.
Juan Manuel Sanabria and Agustin Canobbio are expected back in the starting XI following impressive cameos off the bench. Darwin Núñez and Matias Viña are likely to drop to reserve roles. Núñez, in particular, struggled in the opener and appears to have lost the starting striker position to Viñas.
Jose Maria Gimenez has recovered from an ankle injury but is not expected to be risked in this match, with Bielsa likely saving him for the group-stage finale against Spain. Joaquin Piquerez, Ronald Araujo, and Giorgian de Arrascaeta are all ruled out and should also be considered doubts for the Spain game.
Cape Verde Team News
Cape Verde aren’t expected to make substantial changes to the starting lineup. That means Logan Costa, who plays for Villarreal in Spain, is likely to start on the bench once again. The lone fitness concern is Jovane Cabral, who exited the game against Spain with minor discomfort, but he’s expected to be available for selection.
