Pre-match analysis

How Uruguay vs Spain sets up

🇺🇾Uruguay

Uruguay will look to set the tempo, control the opening exchanges, and build through midfield and wide pressure.

🇪🇸Spain

Spain 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.
