Uruguay vs Cabo Verde — predicción del Mundial 2026

Uruguay enters this clash as the crowd favorite, but anyone expecting an easy ride hasn't watched Cape Verde lately. La Celeste will rely on their usual blend of tactical dark arts and whatever flavor of chaotic energy Darwin Nunez decides to channel on the day. Meanwhile, the Blue Sharks are chasing the ultimate underdog story. They have shown they can frustrate the giants, and an upset isn't entirely unlikely if Uruguay underestimates them. Expect tackles flying, Bielsa pacing furiously, and Cape Verde fighting for every inch. It is either going to be a routine South American masterclass or pure group-stage cinema. 🦈

Everyone is acting like Uruguay has this in the bag already. La Celeste is the overwhelming crowd favorite, with most assuming a Bielsa masterclass is highly likely. But if you want to climb the prediction leaderboard, backing Cape Verde is the ultimate underdog story. Sure, it is incredibly unlikely on paper, but imagine the absolute r/soccer meltdown if the Blue Sharks actually pull off the upset. Are you playing it safe with the South Americans, or are you backing the ultimate dark horse to shock the world? 🦈
