What is at stake for Uruguay and. Cape Verde?

All teams in Group H remain level on points after the opening round of fixtures, meaning this match could play a key role in deciding qualification for the knockout stages.

Despite a below-par display against Saudi Arabia, Uruguay currently sit top of the group and will be aiming to return to winning ways to ensure they improve on their 2022 World Cup campaign, where they failed to progress beyond the group stage in Qatar.

Cape Verde, ranked 63rd in the world, continue to defy expectations after earning a famous point on their World Cup debut.

Goalkeeper Vozinha has emerged as a national hero and internet sensation following his man-of-the-match display against Spain, where the 40-year-old produced seven saves to secure a historic result.

A win for either side would move them onto four points and leave them on the brink of qualification to the next round.
