Uruguay vs Cape Verde Islands: Prediction and Odds, World Cup, 21\/06\/2026<\/h1>

Hard Rock Stadium in Miami hosts a Group H opener that pairs two-time world champions Uruguay against historic debutants Cape Verde on June 21. La Celeste, priced at 1.48<\/a>, carry pedigree but enter on shaky recent form under Marcelo Bielsa, while the Blue Sharks arrive riding genuine momentum from a remarkable qualifying campaign.<\/p>

Projected final score: 1-0<\/h3>

Uruguay's structural advantages, a 51-place<\/strong> ranking gap and 15 World Cup appearances against Cape Verde's debut, give them the edge here, even with key absences. Priced around 1.48<\/a>, the Celeste carry enough individual quality through Darwin Nunez and Valverde to grind out a narrow win against a defensively disciplined opponent.<\/p>

A low-scoring affair looks highly probable given Uruguay's alarming attacking drought of just two goals in their last four matches and Cape Verde conceding only 11 goals across 10 qualifying games<\/strong>. With Bielsa's side misfiring and the Blue Sharks built for resilience, 1.62<\/a> reflects the likely tight, attritional nature of this contest.<\/p>
