Pre-match analysis
How Uruguay vs Cape Verde sets up
🇺🇾Uruguay
Uruguay will look to set the tempo, control the opening exchanges, and build through midfield and wide pressure.
🇨🇻Cape Verde
Cape Verde will aim to stay compact, frustrate the press, and threaten on quick transitions and set pieces.
What to watch: the first duel after every turnover, set-piece quality at both ends, and which manager blinks first on substitutions as the game opens up.
