Uruguay vs Spain Prediction

Both of these teams come into this match with plenty to play for, but Uruguay most likely needs to win in order to advance. Uruguay only has two points in the standings, so I don’t think a draw will do. Spain is sitting at four points and a draw would clinch the group. Spain dominated Saudi Arabia in their last game and I think they will have plenty of chances here, as Uruguay will have to push for a win. Take the over here, as I think we will see great chances throughout the game.
