On Friday, December 2, in El Vacre at the El Janoub Stadium, the match of the third round of the 2022 World Cup in Group H will take place, in which Ghana and Uruguay will play. The starting whistle of the German referee Daniel Siebert from Berlin will sound at 17:00 Kyiv time.
Ghana
The African team can hardly be called one of the sensations of the tournament, but in a group that was quite equal in terms of the strength of the participants, it thoroughly ruffled the nerves of its rivals in the starting two rounds. The first was the Portuguese national team, which for a long time tried to break into someone else’s defense, and only thanks to Cristiano Ronaldo and the penalty he earned, that game was revealed to the fullest. As a result, the “European Selesao” barely took their feet in the scoring overture with the risk of losing points in the last seconds (3:2). But the next game of the Otto Addo team went in a completely different scenario.
Ghana did not seem to stop after the game against Portugal, so the first half was completely won against South Korea, but a series of errors after the break gave the Black Stars’ rivals the opportunity to bounce back and be close to taking the lead in the score. Exactly until the midfielder of Ajax Amsterdam Mohamed Kudus (3:2) scored another goal, for which half of the clubs in the top championships promise to run in the next few transfer windows. In the upcoming game, he will again have a chance to show himself, although the team can be satisfied with a draw, by and large.
Uruguay
Once again, to compare the personnel reserves of the Uruguay national team and the current position of the Diego Alonso team in the group standings is getting sicker and sicker all the time. In an adequate sense, a team that has Luis Suarez, Lucas Torreira and Maximiliano Gomez as a substitute simply does not have the right to occupy the last line and fear any positive result for competitors before the final round. However, the first-ever world champions in their current condition are exceptionally disappointing to the fans with their game, and their possible presence in the 1/8 finals of the World Cup in Qatar is becoming less and less attractive option day by day.
It all started with an absolutely ugly in terms of the quality of performance and uninteresting in terms of the level of intrigue of the meeting against South Korea (0:0), which became one of the many goalless in this tournament. And at the same time, the teams did not even hit the target! And then the “charrois” played against Portugal in an exclusively defensive manner, and at the same time they still managed to lose the important meeting (0:2). Thus, without scoring a single goal before, the Uruguayans will hope to reach the playoffs from second place, for which they only need to win and do something with their negative goal difference.
Estimated compositions
Ghana: Ati-Zigi – Mensah, Salisu, Amarti, Lampty – Samed, Partey – D. Ayu, Kudus, A. Ayu – Williams.
Uruguay: Rochet – Coates, Godin, Jimenez – Olivera, Vecino, Bentancourt, Valverde, Varela – Gomez, Nunez.
Won’t play: … – Araujo.
Forecast for confrontation
We believe that in the upcoming match, the teams will share points in a scoring match. Our bet will be the position – Ghana will not lose and TB 2.5 with a coefficient of 6.00 on the Parimatch line.
