Saudi Arabia doesn’t have a good record in the World Cup, so we don’t fancy their chances of keeping it close against Uruguay, which brings in solid form.

Uruguay, who won the first ever World Cup in 1930, looks to get back to their glory days, and beating Saudi Arabia would see them on their way. Their qualifying tournament play was excellent, including wins over Venezuela and Peru, before drawing with Chile.

We expect South American form to hold up better than what Saudi Arabia faced in their qualifying, including Iraq, Indonesia, and Australia. They don’t have many strike weapons on offence, which is where Uruguay should shine.

Darwin Nunez, Federico Vinas, and Rodrigo Aguirre are top goal scoring threats, and we have Uruguay winning by at least two goals. It could be a 3-0 or 3-1 score line, so take the -1 at $2.30.

Aguirre has a goal in each of his last two games for Uruguay, and his recent Champions Cup season netted him four goals from eight games. He’s playing well, and he should get plenty of opportunities to score against Saudi Arabia.

Nunez doesn’t have any recent goals for Uruguay, but he always gets his chances to either score or set up a goal. He’s the $1.72 favourite for a reason, so include him in FIFA World Cup multi bets.

There are plenty of goals in store for Uruguay, so include over 2.5 goals in football multis. They could blow the game open in the second half, and punters get value odds for the over.

Value Bet

Uruguay 3-0

A positive start is likely for Uruguay, which should have too much attacking power for Saudi Arabia’s defence to handle.

They have numerous scoring threats, and they also have a lot of experience playing together. With Saudi Arabia losing 10 of its last 11 night matches at the World Cup, Uruguay has a sizable advantage.

A 3-0 score has a good chance of coming through for punters, and the $10 odds are attractive.
