Prediction, Odds & Betting tips for Ghana vs. Uruguay | Group Stage, World Cup Qatar 2022
Ghana survived South Korea’s comeback and eventually took three points, essential for their knockout stage advance. For the moment, they have thee and Uruguay only one, meaning that the Ghanaian side might reach the Round of 16 with a tie here. That is only if Korea isn’t victorious against Portugal. Meanwhile, Uruguay is way below expectations, and this team didn’t show anything despite all of us expecting to see them competing for the top spot in this assembly. They need to win and listen to the game between Korea and Portugal, and if the result is right, Uruguay will be in the Round of 16.
Ghana
Ghana has three points, and they need one from this clash to be in the knockout stage, which would pretty much cement their place as one of the best African nations in World Cup history.
We have to point out that this group showed character against South Korea, not backing down following a wasted 2-0 lead. Many other teams would simply lose the momentum, and their morale would be broken, but not Ghana’s, so shoutout to the Black Stars.
This is a team that likes to play open and trade blows in the midfield, even if that means that the defense might be exposed. Ghana was neck to neck with Portugal in the opening round, losing 2-3, but leaving a very good impression.
Uruguay
Opposite to Ghana, Uruguay is one of the biggest disappointments in Qatar so far. They have a very respectable team, with Nunez, Valverde, Betancur, and veterans, like Cavan and Suarez, but they haven’t shown anything.
The midfield is without the slightest traces of creativity, while the strikers proved to be inefficient, and we particularly target Nunez here, who didn’t show anything worth mentioning. A big hype surrounding Liverpool’s attacker disappeared.
In the previous two games, Uruguay showed nothing, and they have to find a way to forget all that and turn the table with a victory over Ghana.
Ghana: Ati Zigi; Lamptey, Amartey, Djiku, Baba; Partey, Abdul Samed; Sulemana, Kudus, J. Ayew; Williams
Uruguay: Rochet; Varela, Godin, Gimenez, Olivera; Bentancur, Vecino, Valverde; De Arrascaeta, L Suarez, Nunez
You all remember the famous quarterfinals from the 2010 World Cup in South Africa once Uruguay eliminated Ghana following the penalties. Suarez would previously stopped the ball at the goal line with his hand in the last moments of the game, but Asamoah Gyan missed what could have been the winner.
Uruguay has nothing to wait for and they will need to attack and be more aggressive. This team has a very good offensive potential, only the attackers need to wake up. Ghana showed that they accept fast and attacking-minded play style, and that’s why we pick both teams scoring here.
Our verdict: Both teams to score
