However, the two World Cup meetings between the sides have been draws.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Speaking of draws, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/en\/stats\/clubs\/uruguay\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Uruguay<\/a> have drawn five of their last six matches, including both games at this year\u2019s World Cup.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Their last win dates back to October when they beat Uzbekistan, while they\u2019ve only carved out one win from their last six World Cup games.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The pressure is on Marcelo Bielsa ahead of this game and while a draw could be enough to see them progress, a victory would remove any lingering uncertainty and guarantee their place in the next round.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2026\/06\/21185157\/3ET76HF-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1461386\" srcset=\"https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2026\/06\/21185157\/3ET76HF-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2026\/06\/21185157\/3ET76HF-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2026\/06\/21185157\/3ET76HF-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2026\/06\/21185157\/3ET76HF-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2026\/06\/21185157\/3ET76HF-2048x1365.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2026\/06\/21185157\/3ET76HF-400x267.jpg 400w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2026\/06\/21185157\/3ET76HF-90x60.jpg 90w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2026\/06\/21185157\/3ET76HF-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2026\/06\/21185157\/3ET76HF-111x74.jpg 111w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-cape-verde-vs-saudi-arabia\">Cape Verde vs Saudi Arabia<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Cape Verde key stat:<\/strong>\u00a0The Blue Sharks are unbeaten in their first World Cup and bidding to claim their first win, which would fire them into the knockout stages.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Saudi Arabia key stat:<\/strong> Saudi Arabia have exited in the group stages of their last five World Cups and have failed to keep a clean sheet in any of their last 18 World Cup matches dating back to 1994.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/en\/stats\/clubs\/saudi-arabia\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Saudi Arabia<\/a> have come unstuck in the group stages in each of their last five World Cup appearances since they reached the last-16 on their debut 32 years ago.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Green Falcons have one point on the board so far in this edition, but they know that a victory over Cape Verde will at least be enough for third spot &#8211; and likely progress as a best third-place finisher &#8211; while it would be enough for second if Spain don\u2019t lose against Uruguay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Worrying, they have failed to keep a clean sheet in any of their last 18 World Cup matches dating back to 1994. In fact, they\u2019ve only ever carved out one shutout in their 21 games at the tournament, suffering 14 defeats in the process.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This will certainly fill <a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/en\/stats\/clubs\/cabo-verde\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Cape Verde<\/a> with confidence, as will their own performances so far in their debut World Cup. The Blue Sharks remarkably held Spain to a goalless draw despite being bombarded by 27 shots and only having 25% possession. The island nation proved this was no fluke by holding two-time winners Uruguay to a 2-2 draw, during which Kevin Pina scored his country&#8217;s first ever World Cup goal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, Cape Verde have their first World Cup points and goals, now they are seeking their first ever win, which would fire them into the last-32. However, a draw may be enough too, depending on other results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2026\/06\/22010641\/3ET9B23-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1461456\" srcset=\"https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2026\/06\/22010641\/3ET9B23-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2026\/06\/22010641\/3ET9B23-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2026\/06\/22010641\/3ET9B23-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2026\/06\/22010641\/3ET9B23-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2026\/06\/22010641\/3ET9B23-2048x1365.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2026\/06\/22010641\/3ET9B23-400x267.jpg 400w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2026\/06\/22010641\/3ET9B23-90x60.jpg 90w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2026\/06\/22010641\/3ET9B23-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2026\/06\/22010641\/3ET9B23-111x74.jpg 111w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n<h3><strong>Read more:<\/strong><\/h3>\r\n<ul>\r\n<li style=\"list-style-type: none\">\r\n<ul>\r\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/en\/bet\/football-tips\/world-cup-2026-betting-tips-predictions\/\"><strong>World Cup predictions &amp;
