Saudi Arabia vs Uruguay Prediction, Betting Tips, Lineups & Odds | 15 Jun 2026
FIFA World Cup Betting Preview: Saudi Arabia vs Uruguay
Saudi Arabia square off against Uruguay in this FIFA World Cup Group H encounter at Miami Stadium (Hard Rock Stadium), with kick-off set for 18:00 on Monday 15 June.
Group H also features Spain and Cape Verde. Spain are the bookmakers' clear favourites to top the group, with Uruguay expected to be their main challengers, while Saudi Arabia and Cape Verde are viewed as outsiders.
Uruguay can prove too strong for Saudi Arabia and we're backing them on the Asian Handicap -1.25 at odds of -112. A two-goal victory would secure a full payout, while a one-goal win returns half the stake.
Uruguay are accustomed to facing a much higher calibre of opposition than Saudi Arabia and we expect that quality gap to be evident. The midfield trio of Federico Valverde, Manuel Ugarte and Rodrigo Bentancur provides a strong platform and Marcelo Bielsa's side should be able to control proceedings against a Saudi team that has failed to win seven of its last eight matches heading into the World Cup.
A 0-0 home draw against Iraq in their final qualifier was enough for Saudi Arabia to top their AFC Fourth Round group on goal difference and secure direct qualification for the World Cup.
In their last competitive match, Saudi Arabia suffered a 1-0 defeat to Jordan in the FIFA Arab Cup semi-finals.
Saudi Arabia have played five friendly matches in 2026, recording one win, one draw and three defeats. Since arriving in the United States, the Green Falcons have lost 2-1 to Ecuador, beaten Puerto Rico 3-0 and played out a goalless draw against Senegal.
Uruguay qualified for the World Cup by finishing fourth in the CONMEBOL standings, capturing one of the six direct automatic spots.
La Celeste signed off their qualifying campaign with a 0-0 draw away to Chile. Uruguay recorded 48% possession and managed two shots on target in a closely contested encounter.
Uruguay have played two friendly matches in 2026, drawing 1-1 with England at Wembley before playing out a goalless draw against Algeria at Allianz Stadium in Turin.
Head-to-Head Statistics
Saudi Arabia and Uruguay have met on three previous occasions, with each side winning once and the other match ending in a draw. Their most recent meeting came at the 2018 World Cup, where Uruguay secured a 1-0 victory in Rostov.
