Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

Uruguay and hosts Russia have both qualified from Group A and are battling to advance as group winners.

This year is the first time that Russia have advanced from their group, the Soviet Union finished fourth in 1966, and face either Spain or Portugal in the next round after an impressive start to the tournament.

Despite winning their first two games, Uruguay are playing at a fraction of what they are capable of. With a strong defence behind them, they are struggling to effectively transition the ball through the midfield and get the best out of Luis Suarez and Edinson Cavani.

What time is it?

Uruguay vs Russia kicks off at 15:00 at the Samara Arena.

Where can I watch it?

ITV will be showing live coverage on ITV 1 and online on the ITV hub.

Odds:

Uruguay: 6/4

Russia: 2/1

Draw: 2/1

Prediction

Given Uruguay’s nature and Russia’s adventure, it will be a very tight and cagey affair. Russia will be desperate to win three World Cup games in a row but face a very tough test.
