This election is still a dead heat, according to most polls. In a fight with such wafer-thin margins, we need reporters on the ground talking to the people Trump and Harris are courting. Your support allows us to keep sending journalists to the story.

The Independent is trusted by 27 million Americans from across the entire political spectrum every month. Unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock you out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. But quality journalism must still be paid for.

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.
