Top Cape Verde vs. Uruguay predictions
After examining Uruguay vs. Cape Verde from every angle, Green is leaning Under 2.5 total goals (-170). Uruguay have played three matches in 2026, and all three contests saw under 2.5 total goals. Dating back to 2018, each of their last five World Cup matches have gone under 2.5 goals. Meanwhile, the only scoreless contest across the first 24 matches of this year’s World Cup involved the Cape Verdeans, thanks, in part, to their goalkeeper Vozinha. The 40-year-old became the third-oldest goalkeeper to produce a World Cup clean sheet in keeping Spain off the scoreboard.
“Vozinha was the star of the show in Cape Verde’s 0-0 draw with Spain, as he made eight saves. Cape Verde’s 40-year-old goalkeeper was the player of the match, as he displayed remarkable agility to keep the reigning European champions at bay,” Green told SportsLine. “… We can certainly expect a similar approach from Cape Verde, as the Blue Sharks will be happy to sit back and ‘park the bus’ in a bid to stop Uruguay from scoring.” See Green’s best bets for Uruguay vs. Cape Verde at SportsLine, and you can bet the Under in Cape Verde vs. Uruguay at FanDuel here:
