#广场预测世界杯赢40000U Can the Black Horse Myth Continue? Cape Verde vs. Uruguay! A Do-or-Die Match for Qualification!

At 6 a.m. Beijing time on June 22, in the second round of Group H of the 2026 North America, Central America, and Mexico World Cup group stage, South American powerhouse Uruguay faces the World Cup newcomer and dark horse Cape Verde.

After the first round, two major upsets occurred in Group H—
Spain was held to a 0-0 draw by Cape Verde;
Uruguay drew 1-1 with Saudi Arabia;
All four teams have 1 point, creating an unusual stalemate, and the qualification situation in this group has fallen into chaos.

The outcome of this match will directly determine the prospects of both teams qualifying. If Uruguay cannot secure all three points, their last match against Spain will be a desperate situation;
If Cape Verde can earn more points, they may continue their dark horse momentum and take the lead in qualification.

In the first round, the team took 27 shots but only scored 1 goal, with poor finishing efficiency being the biggest hidden danger. Facing Saudi Arabia’s dense defense, they struggled to break through, ultimately relying on Araújo’s 80th-minute goal to barely equalize.

Head coach Belsa’s high-pressing tactics are effective in suppression, but their attacking options are limited. Against Cape Verde’s solid defense, crossing from the wings and set pieces will be key to breaking the deadlock.

Cape Verde
Cape Verde stunned the world in their debut, facing Spain with a squad set up in a deep 4-1-4-1 defensive formation, despite Spain’s squad value exceeding 1.2 billion euros. They committed only 1 foul throughout the match, with 40-year-old goalkeeper Vozinha making 7 saves to keep a clean sheet.

This African team, with a total squad value of only 54.5 million euros, is highly disciplined defensively but has limited attacking threat. In the first round, they only took 3 shots, mainly relying on quick counterattacks for scoring. After their clean sheet against Spain, morale is high. If they can maintain their defensive intensity, they have the ability to earn points from Uruguay.

Match Prediction
This is the first-ever encounter between the two teams. Uruguay remains undefeated against African teams in World Cup history, but their inability to score easily may lead to impatience;

Cape Verde has ample stamina and a mature defensive system. A showdown between South American technical finesse and African ironclad defense is about to unfold. Will Uruguay find their shooting boots again? Can Cape Verde create another miracle? It’s worth looking forward to.

All four teams have 1 point. Uruguay will face Spain in the last match, and both of their final two games are do-or-die battles.
Win and they are safely through; lose and they are basically out.
A draw in the last game means a desperate fight, making the second round always the most exciting in the group stage!

Spain’s front line technique looks somewhat more reliable than Núñez’s. Although this guy is injured and may not play, the other forwards are all valued at less than 8 million euros, which is not even as much as Cape Verde’s forwards.

Spain can contain them, so there’s no reason Uruguay can’t!
