Spain eye Group H summit as Uruguay chase qualification
A place in the knockout stages is on the line as Group H leaders Spain face a Uruguay side desperate to secure their first win of the tournament.
Spain enter the final group game in control of the title race with four points. After an underwhelming goalless draw with Cape Verde, Luis de la Fuente’s side found their rhythm in a 4-0 demolition of Saudi Arabia. A win or draw will guarantee progression, and they are overwhelming favourites to top the group and secure a Round of 32 berth.
Uruguay sit second on two points following back-to-back draws against Saudi Arabia (1-1) and Cape Verde (2-2). Marcelo Bielsa’s side must win to guarantee the top spot, though various permutations could see them finish anywhere from first to fourth. Their recent form in Mexico is a concern, having won just one of their last nine World Cup matches played in the country.
