Uruguay vs Spain FIFA Prediction, Odds & Betting Tips (June 27, 2026)

🎯 Uruguay vs Spain Prediction

Our Uruguay v Spain prediction is for Spain to see off the challenge of Uruguay and take the three points on offer on Sunday morning. The Spanish got their World Cup up and running against Saudi Arabia and will be keen to kick on after watching the likes of France, Germany, Columbia and Argentina book their places in the knock-out rounds already. Spain just look like they will have too much pace and skill for Uruguay, especially if the Spanish can get Lamine Yamal and Nico Williams on the pitch at the same time.

Uruguay have struggled so far in this World Cup. They look shaky at the back and will more than likely exit the competition with a defeat. If Uruguay can’t stop Spain from dominating possession, they could be in a long match defending their box, and that is not something they look capable of doing. Spain are strong favourites to get the win, and that is what we see happening.

🎰 Uruguay Squad Form

Uruguay have been frustrating in the opening two matches of the World Cup. They began with a 1-1 draw with Saudi Arabia, where they needed an 80th-minute equaliser from Maxi Araujo to claim the point. They then had to settle for another draw against Cape Verde in their second game, this time a 2-2 finish. They sit 2nd in group H ahead of the Spain game, but they know they will need a positive result to secure their spot in the next round without having to rely on the result from the other match.

Uruguay Players to Watch

Below we will look at three players that will be key to Uruguay’s chances of securing the result they need against Spain.

• Federico Valverde: The Real Madrid midfielder is the star of this team now after the retirements of Luis Suarez and Edinson Cavani. His trademark powerful runs, his passing and his ability to grab a goal could prove to be all-important as his side take on Spain.
• Fernando Muslera: The former Galatasaray keeper has made 136 appearances for his country, and his shot-stopping and leadership could be crucial against Spain as they look to get the result that will put them through.
• Maxi Araujo: The Sporting Lisbon star is used as a left winger by Bielsa and has proved vital for his team so far with two goals, including the late leveller in their opening match.

🥇 Spain Squad Form

Spain began their World Cup with a frustrating draw against Cape Verde. They were without both Lamine Yamal and Nico Williams from the start, but both made appearances off the bench. Yamal started against Saudi Arabia, getting 45 minutes, with Williams again coming off the bench. Spain will look to try and get both their wide stars on the field more often as the tournament goes on, with their chances of success significantly higher with those two on the pitch.

Spain Players to Watch

Below are three players we think Spain will look to against Uruguay as they bid to secure their place in the knock-out rounds.

• Pedri: One of the finest players at this World Cup, the FC Barcelona midfielder is key to Luis de la Fuente’s team keeping possession during matches. His grace and style on the ball are matched by very few, with his technique and passing vital to Spain as they look to unlock defences.
• Lamine Yamal: The wonderkid of both the FC Barcelona and Spain teams, Yamal got 45 minutes from the start against Saudi Arabia and scored the opener for his team. Spain are a completely different team with Yamal in it, so their fans will hope he can stay fit as they work their way through the tournament.
• Mikel Oyarzabal: The Real Sociedad man scored the winner for Spain in the Euro 2024 final, and since then he has nailed down the central striker position in the national team. He hit 18 goals for Sociedad during the 2025/26 season and has a healthy return of 27 goals in 55 appearances for Spain, including 20 over the last three years.
