Match Preview
After losing 5-0 to Russia in the opening game of the World Cup (WC) finals, Saudi Arabia face a Uruguayan side who beat Egypt 1-0 courtesy of a 90th minute winner. |
Uruguay’s win over Egypt was a typically tight opening round game, with limited chances as neither side wanted to lose. Saudi Arabia, however, looked completely out of their depth against hosts Russia. |
That loss for the Saudis was the worst opening-game loss since Mexico’s 5-0 loss to Brazil in 1950, with only the USA’s 7-1 defeat to Italy in 1934 being heavier. |
While the Saudis have little to no chance of qualifying for the next stage, a win for two-time WC winners (1930, 1950) Uruguay will almost certainly secure their place in the last 16. |
The South American’s are on a good run at present of four-straight wins to nil, and only one defeat in their last ten (W6, D3, L1). Saudi Arabia’s latest loss was conversely their fourth-straight defeat, all four of which saw them losing at half-time. |
The two sides have only ever met twice before with a 1-1 draw in 2014 and a 3-2 home win for the Saudis in 2002. |
Players to watch: Saudi ‘keeper Abdullah Al Muaiouf could be a busy man and needs to watch Uruguay defender José Giménez at set pieces, after he scored two great headers in the last two games. |
Stat attack: In their last 11 games at WC finals, Uruguay have failed to score just once. |
The last eleven Saudi Arabia games have all produced over 1.5 goals. |
The Saudis have failed to score in their last three WC tournament games and six of their last seven. |
This will be Saudi Arabia’s 15th game (W2, D2, L10) at a finals and the first against South American opposition. |
This will also be Uruguay’s first ever finals game against a team from the AFC region. |
