The 2022 FIFA World Cup is in full swing with more action slated for Monday, Nov. 28. One of the more noteworthy matches of the day is a Group H collision between Portugal and Uruguay.
Portugal kicked off the World Cup with a 3-2 win over Ghana, giving the form a ton of momentum ahead of this matchup. Meanwhile, Uruguay couldn't get its offense going in its own matchup, resulting in a 0-0 draw with South Korea on Thursday.
Can Portugal keep up its momentum as the country looks to win the tournament for the first time? Or wil l Uruguay prove to be too much of a challenge by pulling off an upset in the process?

Portugal vs Uruguay Prediction & Pick
Though Ghana held Portugal off the scoresheet in the first half, the latter erupted with three goals in the final 45 minutes. That's the sort of offense that Uruguay rarely sees, proven by the team scoring just two goals in its last three games while being shut out in three of its last five.
Besides, Portugal is likely motivated to win this showdown after Uruguay won the first and only head-to-head matchup, 2-1, at the 2018 World Cup. With Portugal also having scored 11 goals in its last four matches and showing no signs of slowing down, expect the Portuguese to put the Uruguayans in their place.
Final Score Prediction:'Portugal: 3 | Uruguay: 1

Portugal vs Urugua y Best Bet
Portugal is one of the top contenders in the tournament, proven by its +1200 odds (T-No. 6) to win the 2022 World Cup, as per FanDuel Sportsbook. While Uruguay will challenge at times, this is largely Portugal's game to lose and I don't think that the likes of Cristiano Ronaldo, Diogo Costa and Bruno Fernandes will accept defeat.
