What’s At Stake in Uruguay vs Spain + Best Goal Scorer Bets
  • Spain has -145 odds to defeat Uruguay and win Group H, but a Uruguay loss could send them home depending on the outcome of Cape Verde vs Saudi Arabia.
  • A draw at +245 would comfortably send both teams through to the Round of 32.
  • The best goalscorer bets are Mikel Oyarzabal (+125) from Spain, and Federico Valverde (+550) from Uruguay as a talented longshot.

GUADALAJARA, Mexico – Spain needs just one point to secure the top spot in Group H, but they’re -145 moneyline favorites against Uruguay on Friday night. Uruguay would be content with a draw at +245 legal sports betting odds, but they’re at risk of falling to third in the group if Cape Verde (+167) beats Saudi Arabia.

A third-place finish for Uruguay would likely put them up against England in the Round of 32, giving them even more motivation to handle business against the Spanish powerhouse. Spain are unbeaten in their last 10 World Cup meetings with Uruguay (five wins, five draws), but historical patterns favor a close game between these two familiar foes with each of the last two meetings ending in a draw.
