Spain vs Uruguay Prediction Betting Tips & Preview

The final Group H game for Spain and Uruguay as they meet at Guadalajara Stadium on June 27th. Two proud football nations. Two very different styles. This Spain vs Uruguay prediction looks at how these teams line up, how they approach the game tactically, and where the smartest betting angles might after looking at team news and possible lineups.

Spain vs Uruguay Team News

Luis de la Fuente for Spain hasn’t overcomplicated anything. He’s trusted the same core that has delivered major silverware for the country. The spine is young but seasoned. Players like Rodri, now in his late twenties and still anchoring midfield at Manchester City, give Spain control in big moments. Rodri also feels like the obvious choice from the penalty spot. He’s calm, experienced, and trusted in pressure moments. Pedri, still only in his early twenties at Barcelona, keeps everything ticking with that effortless style. And then there’s the pace. Lamine Yamal, just 18, already plays like he belongs at this level. Nico Williams, a few years older, brings directness and fearlessness from Athletic Club.

Uruguay feel different, but no less dangerous. Marcelo Bielsa, now in his seventies, has reshaped this side. Gone are the days of leaning on Cavani or Suárez. This is a new Uruguay. Darwin Núñez leads the line now, still in his mid-twenties and playing his football in Saudi Arabia. Behind him, Federico Valverde does everything. He’s a Champions League winner with Real Madrid, vice-captain, relentless runner, and arguably Uruguay’s heartbeat. Manuel Ugarte, now a regular at Manchester United, adds balance in midfield.

Likely Lineups

Spain will almost certainly line up in a familiar 4-3-3. Full-backs push high. Midfielders rotate constantly. Wingers stretch the pitch before darting inside. They’ll want the ball. They’ll want control. And they won’t rush anything, especially in a game that could decide their group fate.

Uruguay are harder to pin down. Bielsa has used back threes, aggressive pressing shapes, and flexible midfield setups throughout qualifying. Expect intensity and man-to-man pressure all over the pitch. Uruguay won’t sit back and wait.

Spain vs Uruguay

This is where it gets interesting. Spain will try to slow the game, move Uruguay side to side, and find gaps through patience. Uruguay will try to break that rhythm every chance they get. Press high. Force mistakes. Turn the game into something uncomfortable.

Picture Spain passing and maintaining possession, and Uruguay snapping into tackles, launching quick transitions, asking questions every time Spain’s back line hesitates.

Spain vs Uruguay Betting Tips

This doesn’t feel like a wild game. Both teams know what a mistake costs at this stage. Spain will be happy to keep things tight, whilst Uruguay stay disciplined even when they press.

Markets built around control, patience, and small margins feel far more sensible than anything wild. Especially if qualification is still undecided when they walk out.

Spain vs Uruguay Match Prediction

This is tight. Spain have more control but both sides have a lot of edge. If Spain score first, the tide massively turns in their favour with their ability to control the momentum of the game through possession. If Uruguay strike early, things could get frantic. A draw wouldn’t be a shock. Neither would a narrow win either way. But if I had to choose anything outside of a draw, Spain’s ability to manage games at tournament level might just tip it.

Match Prediction: Draw. Bet with bet365.

Spain vs Uruguay Correct Score Tips

Big scorelines don’t feel right here. Too much respect and too much on the line. Something low-scoring, maybe decided by a single moment or set-piece.

Our score predictions for this match favour low scoring and competitive scorelines.

Correct Score Prediction: Spain 1-1 Uruguay. Bet with bet365.

Spain vs Uruguay Over & Under Goals Betting Tips

Under goals feels like the natural angle. Spain don’t open up unless forced. Uruguay don’t throw caution away, even when pressing hard. Long spells of midfield battles, tactical fouls, and resets are likely.

Unless an early goal changes everything, this should stay controlled.

Over/Under Prediction: Under 2.5 Goals. Bet with bet365.
