The South Americans are very tough to break down under Oscar Tabarez. The defensive line, consisted of the Atletico Madrid pair of centre-backs Diego Godin and Jose Maria Gimenez, conceded no goals at all in last five internationals.
The hosts thus might have serious troubles maintaining their superb attacking form here, while their back line will be heavily challenged for the first time in the tournament as Russia are about to take on the deadly attacking duo of Uruguay’s, Luis Suarez and Edinson Cavani.
