Uruguay V Arabia:Predictions, Time, odds, Preview, and Betting Tips
Uruguay will be looking to sail their place in the next round when they take on the lowest ranked team in this tournament Saudi Arabia.
Uruguay did not impress in the opening match and looked naive in the final third but were able to bag all three points thanks to a last minute header from Gimenez.
This is expected to be a walk in the pack for the South America outfit but they have to improve on their finishing if this has to happen.
Saudi Arabia record of losing their opening match with big margin continued last Thursday when they were thrashed by the hosts 5-0 despite having majority of the possession.
Saudi Arabia were neat and tidy on possession but lacked quality going forward and their finishing was blunt.
We could see plenty of goals in this one but expect a few surprises .
