Match Preview
| The knockout stage action continues with what should be an absolute thriller. Two-time champions with a rich history, Uruguay, face current European champions Portugal, with a match against France or Argentina awaiting the victor. |
| This is the third tournament in succession that Uruguay have reached the knockout phase, while Portugal’s own progression represents a continued upward curve after the nation’s failure to progress in the 2014 World Cup (WC). |
| Though neither team’s presence in the knockouts is a surprise, they both struggled against far inferior opposition at times in the group stage. Uruguay do, however, come into this one as the only side in the tournament yet to concede a goal, having most recently trounced hosts Russia 3-0. |
| Portugal’s last game gives less cause for encouragement. As expected, the Euro 2016 winners controlled large portions of their final group game (with Iran) but a VAR-assisted penalty equaliser for Iran can only affect Portuguese self-belief for the worse. |
| After last winning the tournament in 1950, Uruguay’s run to fourth place exactly six decades later remains the South American nation’s best run of modern times. |
| Players to watch: Though Portugal’s failure to beat Iran was irksome, Cristiano Ronaldo has an unlimited supply of self-belief, and – as always – this will radiate across the dressing room. |
| Luis Suarez and Edinson Cavani will be as problematic as ever. Both men scored, either side of a Denis Cheryshev own-goal, in their last outing. |
| Stat attack: The sides have never met at a WC, with a 1-1 draw (in 1972, Independence Cup) being the most recent H2H result. |
| If Uruguay score first, it could be game over. Each of Uruguay’s last six matches have seen them score first and win with a clean sheet. |
| Portugal are unbeaten in six, last losing to South American opposition way back in September 2013. |
