A must win game for both teams as we head into the final day of group stage matches. Ghana, the lowest ranked side at the tournament, have been involved in back-to-back games where the score line has finished 3-2 (1W, 1L). It’s safe to say it’s not been a boring affair when the Ghanaians have been in action.I wish we could say the same about Uruguay… one point to their name and are yet to score in this tournament! The attacking options Uruguay have at their disposal, is making everyone question the reasons why Uruguay have been so poor in front of goal.Uruguay have to win and hope Portugal (who have already confirmed their place in the last 16) win or draw against South Korea. If either of those results do not come to fruition, then Uruguay will be packing their bags.With only one previous meeting back between these two in 2010, there hasn’t been an opportunity for any revenge for Ghana after Luis Suarez’ infamous handball that stopped a guaranteed goal. Uruguay eventually won the game on penalties confirming their place in the World Cup semi-final.Finding the net in 8 of their last 10 games, I fully expect Ghana to score in this one, especially against an aging Uruguay defence. Also, Uruguay haven’t been involved in game that has seen both teams score since February, a total of 9 games!On paper, this should be Uruguay’s game, but stats and form swing heavily in Ghana’s favour!Score Prediction: 2-0Bet Prediction: Under 2.5 Goals
