FIFA World Cup: Uruguay will face Spain in a must-win match in Group H of the FIFA World Cup 2026 at the Estadio Akron Stadium in Guadalajara on Saturday (IST).Spain are at the top of Group H after two games, and they will clinch pole position with a victory against Uruguay. A draw would also be enough to finish first in the event that Cabo Verde does not beat Saudi Arabia by a margin of five or more goals. Uruguay, on two points, can grab the top spot over La Roja if they win the clash in Guadalajara.
Uruguay have created enough chances to suggest they should be in a stronger position, but defensive errors and missed opportunities have left them needing a sharp response in Guadalajara.
