Will Arrascaeta play?

Of the three Flamengo players, only Varela and De La Cruz are available for Uruguay. That is because Arrascaeta is still recovering from a muscle injury suffered while with ‘La Celeste’. In addition, Matías Viña is also an option against Cape Verde.

In the first match, there was a strong push from Uruguay fans for De La Cruz to come on. However, despite starting on the bench, Bielsa only brought the Flamengo midfielder on in the final minutes against Saudi Arabia.

So, what is Uruguay’s likely lineup?

Bielsa is expected to start: Muslera; Varela, Cáceres, Matías Olivera and Sanabria; Bentancur, Valverde and Nicolás De la Cruz; Canobbio, Maximiliano Araújo and Viñas.

Cape Verde could line up with: Vozinha; Steven Moreira, Pico Lopes, Diney Borges and Sidny Cabral; Kevin Pina, Ryan Mendes and Laros Duarte; Jamiro Monteiro, Jovane Cabral and Livramento.

Will Vozinha shine again?

Therefore, the World Cup will feature another match from Vozinha, the Cape Verdean goalkeeper who caused a stir in Brazil. That is because the shot-stopper denied Spain’s attack in the opening round. So, the 40-year-old player could once again be the hero.

Is the refereeing crew Brazilian?

Brazil has three referees at the World Cup. However, none of them will officiate Uruguay vs. Cape Verde. That is because Espen Eskås (NOR), Jan Erik Engan (NOR), Isaak Bashevkin (NOR) and Willy Delajod (FRA) are the officials for the match.

What is the situation in Uruguay’s group?

  • Uruguay = 1 point
  • Saudi Arabia = 1 point
  • Spain = 1 point
  • Cape Verde = 1 point

Thus, Uruguay can break open Group H, which has only had draws so far. So, Coluna do Fla will bring the result of the second-round match with an emphasis on Mengão’s players.
