Ghana vs Uruguay prediction: How will World Cup fixture play out today?

What’s the team news?

There is a full squad available for Ghana, so the most likely scenario is a line-up unchanged from their last game. Pushing Mohammed Kudus further up the pitch was a major tactical change for that game and he will again be key in supporting striker Iñaki Williams.

Uruguay have played both back three and back four so far, but look more balanced in 3-5-2. Edinson Cavani may get the go-ahead in attacking Luis Suárez again, especially given the furor surrounding the former Liverpool and Barcelona man in this specific match. Center-back Ronald Araujo is still injured.

Predicted Lineups

GHA – Zigi, Lamptey, Amartey, Salisu, Mensah, Partey, Samed, Kudus, A Ayew, J Ayew, Williams

URU – Rochet, Giménez, Godín, Coates, Varela, Valverde, Bentancur, Vecino, Oliveira, Cavani, Núñez

Odds

Win 4/1

Draw 29/10

Uruguay 4/5

Prediction

There will be no repeat of the bitter encounter from last time and there will be no fairy tale comeback for the South Americans, who have been well below average. They may not lose, but it won’t be enough. Ghana 2-2 Uruguay.
