Saudi Arabia vs Uruguay Prediction 6/15/2026 Group H Picks

In this article we will formulate a Saudi Arabia vs Uruguay prediction for this World Cup game on Monday, June 15th at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens, Florida. Let’s take a look at the prediction for this World Cup matchup.

Saudi Arabia Betting Preview

Saudi Arabia comes into the World Cup ranked 60th in the latest official FIFA rankings and they are coming off of a 0-0 draw with Senegal in their last game. In that draw, Saudi Arabia did have 1.13 expected goals, but couldn’t find the back of the net in the tie. Saudi Arabia recorded nine total shots, three shots on target, and had 41% of the possession. Saudi Arabia has played four other friendlies this year: a 3-0 win over Puerto Rico, a 2-1 loss to Ecuador, a 2-1 loss to Serbia, and a 4-0 loss to Egypt. 

Saudi Arabia has qualified for six other World Cups, with their best finish coming in the Round of 16 in 1994. Saudi Arabia has qualified for six of the last eight World Cups, including two straight. In 2022, Saudi Arabia defeated Argentina 2-1, lost to Poland 2-0, and lost to Mexico 2-1 to get eliminated in the Group Stage. In qualifying, Saudi Arabia finished first in their group with four points, which was ahead of Iraq and Indonesia. 

Uruguay Betting Preview

Uruguay comes into the World Cup ranked 17th in the latest official FIFA rankings and they are coming off of a 0-0 draw with Algeria. In that draw, Uruguay had 0.98 expected goals, but was held scoreless. Uruguay recorded 11 total shots, one shot on target, and had 59% of the possession. Uruguay has played one other friendly this year, which was a 1-1 draw with England. 

Uruguay has qualified for 14 other World Cups and they have won the championship in 1930 and 1950. Uruguay also has a fourth place finish in 1954, 1970, and 2010. In 2022, Uruguay drew South Korea 0-0, lost to Portugal 2-0, and defeated Ghana 2-0 to lose in the Group Stage. In qualifying, Uruguay finished fourth in their group with 28 points, which was tied with three other teams (Colombia, Brazil, and Paraguay). 

Saudi Arabia vs Uruguay Prediction 

Uruguay comes into this tournament with a long history at the World Cup and they have made at least the Round of 16 in three of the last four. Uruguay has only played two matches this year and they are 0-1-3 in their last four. Saudi Arabia didn’t play very well in their friendlies this year and they are 1-3-1 in their last five matches. Despite those challenges, I think Saudi Arabia could be a dangerous team in this tournament and with Uruguay not playing many recent matches, I think they could steal this game.
