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.

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.
