Bet on Uruguay vs Cape Verde 2026 - Odds, Predictions & Live Betting Markets

Two-time world champions Uruguay open Group H against debutants Cape Verde - the Blue Sharks, who represent one of the smallest African nations ever to reach the biggest stage in world football. Marcelo Bielsa's La Celeste are powered by José Giménez at the back and Darwin Núñez up top. Cape Verde lean on a well-organised defensive structure that proved effective throughout qualifying. A Uruguay win is heavily favoured, but Cape Verde's organisation has caught bigger names before. Kick-off is 6:00 PM ET on June 21 at Miami Stadium.
