After holding Spain to a 0-0 draw, World Cup heroes Cape Verde look to recreate their magic against a Uruguay team who managed only a draw against Saudi Arabia.

There is always one team that does much better than expected at the World Cup, and Cape Verde has already achieved that with a draw against Spain.

Holding the World Cup favourites to a 0-0 draw was an exceptional defensive performance, and with Uruguay not looking great when drawing 1-1 with Saudi Arabia, this could be a closer game than the odds suggest.

Bookmakers have Cape Verde at $9.50 to win outright, which is a big price. However, they should be solid enough on defence to limit Uruguay’s scoring, and it could be another draw. The $2.90 odds for a Cape Verde win or draw is the best value, and the African nation could continue their fairytale story at the 2026 World Cup.

We’re not quite brave enough to take the $9.50 for an upset win, but it’s also worth a small wager.

Dailon Livramento is good enough to have a shot on target against Uruguay, and he could go close to scoring for the underdogs. Punters get $2 for the striker to have a shot on target, and those odds are generous.

It could be a busy time in goal for the Cape Verde goalkeeper, and we have him making 3+ saves at $1.40. Uruguay should lift their attacking numbers, and they should fire a few shots on target for the Cape Verde goalkeeper to save.

Under 2.5 goals is worth including. We have a 0-0 or 1-1 draw as our score prediction based on the tough Cape Verde defence.

We would love to see Cape Verde score a goal at the World Cup. It’s one thing to defend for a 0-0 draw, but the crowd is wanting a goal from the minnow nation.

Uruguay’s defence didn’t look great against Saudi Arabia, and they only tied the match late in the second half.

A 1-1 draw has a good chance of cashing for punters, and the $8.50 odds are worth having a nibble on.
