A victory will advance the Portugal team to the round of 16, but Cristiano Ronaldo and his teammates will face a very difficult task against the Uruguayan team, which, although a loss will not disqualify them from the World Cup in Qatar, will of course complicate their chances for the final round where they will face Ghana, who defeated South Korea earlier today ( Crimson).
Contrary to the estimates of the Portuguese journalist, Diego Costa kept his place between the posts despite the mistakes he made in the 2:3 victory over Ghana.
The one who did enter the lineup is Pepe, the 39-year-old stopper who replaces Danilo Pereira who was injured in training at the weekend and is not expected to return until the knockout stages, assuming Portugal participates in them.
Nuno Mendes was preferred to Rafael Guerrero at left back and William Carvalho replaced Otavio in midfield.
No changes were made in attack, meaning that Rafael Laao will watch Bernardo Silva, Cristiano Ronaldo and Joao Felix from the bench.
As for Uruguay, the South American team could become the first ever to keep a clean sheet in six consecutive matches in the group stage of World Cup matches.
The significant change for the Celeste was made precisely in the attack, when Edinson Cavani starts the lineup this time and the one who went to the bench is his partner for many years, Luis Suarez.
Derwin Nunes plays next to Cavani on the edge.
Sebastian Coates entered the lineup and Uruguay with three brakes.
Let's recall that the two teams also met in the 2018 World Cup in the round of 16, then Uruguay won 1:2 thanks to a brace from Cavani.
Even at the age of 39, he is in the Portugal team.
