An inch of mountains and rivers, an inch of blood, 100,000 young people and 100,000 troops, is the best commentary on this collision between shields. If the last game of France against Argentina was a technical team with room for play, then this one is a defensive counterattack against a defensive counterattack of a tooth for a tooth and blood for a blood, which is also the reason why the editor was immediately creepy when he knew that Spain had a draw.

Uruguay vs Portugal match-up map

The strength of the two teams is very close, it is difficult to distinguish between them, they are all teams led by superstars, and they can also be seen as a battle between Suarez and Ronaldo, and the strength and characteristics of the two teams are analyzed

Forward: There are superstars, Uruguay is a combination of Suarez + Cavani, the two strikers have already opened the meat, especially Suarez and Ronaldo, both sports battles and set-pieces have scored, plus the cake of the spit brother Cavani, Luo everyone pays more attention, 4 goals, accounting for 80% of Portugal, it can be said that Ronaldo is advancing on Portugal's back, in the battle against Iran, Ronaldo was seen to death, Quaresma's outside instep scored, a bit of fairy ball taste, very beautiful and ecstasy, But it also shows that Portugal is too single in attack when Ronaldo is seen to death, and is more optimistic about Uruguay's two generals in attack. Defensively, both teams have teams that set the sea god needle, Uruguay's Godin, who is familiar to fans who watch La Liga, and Atletico Madrid's iron-blooded player, who is the captain of Uruguay. Portugal has a veteran like Pepe in the lineup, although he is 35 years old, he is experienced and is the cornerstone of Portugal's progress. The 2016 European Championship champion, Portugal, who was not favored, relied on defense to the end. Defensively, both teams are very united, very disciplined and evenly matched.

The current situation of Uruguay vs Portugal, both teams are good at counter-attacking battles and good at finding the front of the god tactics. This is due to the ability of Suarez and Ronaldo, both teams are very strong defensively, especially Uruguay, who conceded 0 goals in 3 games, although they did not meet strong opponents, but the 3-0 victory over the host Russia still showed the strength of the team.

This game will definitely be scorching, and a regular season draw is also very likely. However, at present, the video referee will have more uncertain factors for the penalty kick, and it is impossible to estimate it before the game.

The editor is optimistic about this game: Uruguay beat Portugal by one goal with a score of 1-0. But fans have to guard against Ronaldo's return of the fighting god, and they are generally optimistic about the small ball, 1-0 or even two-way, once a team scores a goal, it will defend to the death, and the probability of a 0-0 draw in 90 minutes is also relatively large.
