A few numbers

Fernando Santos’ team will try to win the first two matches of the group stage for the third time at the World Cup. He has already done so in 1966 and 2006, reaching the semi-finals in both editions. Although Portugal have won just one of their last nine ties (D3 L5) against South American internationals, defeating Argentina 1-0 in a friendly in November 2014. Uruguay have kept clean sheets in each of their last five matches in the group stage at the World Cup: no team has ever managed it for six games in a row. But Celeste failed to score in the two most recent World Cup matches. The No Gol sign can be a chance: 1.80 the evaluation of Sisal, Better and Goldbet.
