Spain to win and keep a clean sheet here for me as La Roja are at a completely different level to Marcelo Bielsa’s Uruguay. They have not lost in regular time for 32 matches, they have kept four clean sheets in six this year, and they control games so thoroughly that opponents barely create anything. Their 4–0 dismantling of Saudi Arabia showed exactly how suffocating their structure and pressing can be.

Uruguay come into this under real pressure: winless in six, conceding in five straight matches, scoring more than once in only one of those games and they need at least a drw. They have looked vulnerable at the back and blunt going forward, and nothing in their recent form suggests they can break down the most organised defence they have faced so far. In addition, reports suggest that the members of the team and Marcelo Biesla are at loggerheads – hardly ideal prep here.

Put simply, Spain’s consistency, control and defensive discipline meet Uruguay’s lack of cutting edge at exactly the right angle. Spain should dominate the ball, create the clearer chances, and shut the door at the other end — making the win to nil the most logical and best‑supported bet on the board.
