Saudi Arabia - Uruguay. On the eve

On the night of June 16, Tuesday, the Hard Rock Stadium will host a match between the national teams of Saudi Arabia and Uruguay, in which both countries will begin their performances at the 2026 World Cup. TUESDAY, JUNE 16, 01:00 AM ▪️ HARD ROCK, MIAMI ▪️ HEAD REFEREE — MAURIZIO MARIANI (ITALY) ▪️ LIVE ON MEGOGO Saudi Arabia has been a regular at the World Cup since 1994, participating in every tournament except in 2010 and 2014, when they failed to qualify for the finals. The last two World Cups for the national team ended with relegation in the group stage of the tournament, and it only once reached the round of 16 - that was in 1994. Georgios Donis' side come into this match on the back of a goalless draw with Senegal in their last pre-World Cup friendly, and have also played Puerto Rico and Ecuador in the build-up to the tournament, beating the former 1-0 and losing 1-2 to the latter. Saudi Arabia have met Uruguay three times and both teams have won once, including a 1-0 victory for the Charrois at the 2018 World Cup. Uruguay can no longer count on such high-class players as Luis Suarez and Edinson Cavani, but the South Americans still have many talented footballers who can become the backbone of the national team in the future. Marcelo Bielsa's side haven't actually played since the friendly matches in March: a 1-1 draw with England, followed by a clean sheet against Algeria. The Uruguayan national team has a rich history of participation in World Cups: they won the tournament in 1930 and 1950, and in 2010 they even reached the semi-finals. The Uruguayans also reached the quarter-finals in 2018 but were knocked out at the group stage in 2022, so there is plenty of room for progress this summer. Spain are the clear clear favorites to top Group H, but second place in the group remains open, as is third, which could also secure a place in the play-offs. Saudi Arabia will be without goalkeeper Nawaf Al-Aqidi for the first leg, but otherwise the Greens are in excellent form and most importantly remain injury-free to key players. As for Uruguay, Jose Jimenez, Ronald Araujo, Georgian de Arrascaeta, Matias Viña and Sebastian Caceres may not be available for the opening game. 👑 betking offers to bet on the victory of the national team of Saudi Arabia with a coefficient of 8.00, and the probable success of Uruguay is estimated at 1.45.
