Uruguay is without a doubt the team to back here. Their pre-tournament results are excellent and this is a team with the perfect mix of youth and experience. The firepower upfront added by the combination of Cavani and Suarez is something that add the extra incentive.

Egypt
- Egypt’s most recent game against South American opposition saw them draw 0-0 with Colombia in a friendly at the start of the month.
- After securing World Cup qualification, Egypt team impressed in a narrow friendly defeat to Portugal in March – Mo Salah looked to have scored the winning goal before Cristiano Ronaldo’s stoppage-time double consigned Egypt to a 2-1 defeat. Since then, however, Egypt have managed just one goal in four games in Salah’s absence.
- Mohamed Salah’s availability for the opening group games remains uncertain according to various credible news outlets.
Uruguay
- Uruguay have never lost to African opposition at the World Cup - winning one and drawing two of their three previous matches.
- Egypt and Uruguay’s only previous meeting was a friendly in 2006, which Uruguay won 2-0 with current captain Diego Godin opening the scoring.
- Cavani has 42 international goals in 101 appearances, while Suarez – who needs to score three in Russia to level the national record for World Cup goals - has 51 from 98 games.
