Uruguay vs Spain takes place this Friday (26)

Uruguay and Spain face off this Friday (26) in the third round of Group H of the 2026 World Cup. With that in mind, Coluna do Fla brings details of the match, which will have Flamengo players Varela and De La Cruz available.

The match between Uruguay and Spain, one of the most anticipated clashes of the World Cup group stage, will be broadcast by CazéTV on YouTube. Kickoff is at 9 p.m. (Brasília time) at Akron Stadium in Guadalajara, Mexico.

HOW ARE URUGUAY AND SPAIN DOING IN GROUP H?

Uruguay have two frustrating draws: 1-1 with Saudi Arabia and 2-2 with Cape Verde. Spain, meanwhile, have four points after a goalless draw with Cape Verde and a 4-0 win over Saudi Arabia.

Top of Group H, Spain only need a draw to advance. In the event of a loss, Luis de la Fuente’s side will most likely still go through as one of the eight best third-placed teams.

On the other hand, Uruguay, who are in second place with the same two points as Cape Verde, will qualify with a win. However, La Celeste will be heading home early in the event of a defeat.

In case of a draw, Uruguay will need the same result in Cape Verde vs Saudi Arabia. But if there is a winner in that match, the Uruguayan team could still advance as one of the eight best third-placed sides.

HOW DOES SPAIN ARRIVE?

Spain coach Luis de la Fuente asked his players to maintain the intensity shown against Saudi Arabia. That is because the manager believes it is essential to win and secure first place, as well as head into the knockout stage full of confidence.

Precisely because he liked the performance against the Arabs, he will keep the same lineup. The main hope lies in attack, led by Lamine Yamal and Oyarzábal. Spain are expected to start as follows: Unai Simón; Porro, Cubarsí, Laporte and Cucurella; Rodri, Pedri and Olmo; Baena, Lamine Yamal and Oyarzábal.

AND URUGUAY?

On Uruguay’s side, coach Marcelo Bielsa continues to come under heavy criticism from the press and the fans. In addition, some players left out of the squad, such as Luis Suárez, have shown dissatisfaction with the manager’s conduct.

On the pitch, the coach has problems as well. Flamengo’s Arrascaeta is still injured and has been ruled out of the match. Darwin Núñez, meanwhile, is expected to take the place of another injured player, forward Maximiliano Araújo.

Uruguay’s likely lineup is: Fernando Muslera; Guillermo Varela, Sebastián Cáceres, Mathías Olivera and Sanabria; Manuel Ugarte, Rodrigo Bentancur and Federico Valverde; Maximiliano Araújo, Federico Viñas and Agustín Canobbio.

It is worth noting that Coluna do Fla’s reporting team is following everything involving Uruguay’s training camp. Even with Arrascaeta out, Flamengo still has two other representatives in La Celeste: Guillermo Varela and Nico de la Cruz.
