Uruguay vs. Spain projected lineups, starting 11 for World Cup 2026 Group H game in Guadalajara

Spain can secure first place with a draw, while Uruguay need a win to keep their World Cup hopes alive.

  • Spain and Uruguay face off at Estadio Akron in Zapopan, Mexico, in a Group H clash with vastly different stakes: the reigning European champions seek top spot while the two-time world champion fights for knockout survival.
  • Following two draws against Saudi Arabia and Cabo Verde, Marcelo Bielsa's Uruguay enters on two points, needing victory to automatically qualify for the knockout stage.
  • Unbeaten in 12 matches, Spain sits atop Group H following a dominant 4-0 win over Saudi Arabia, with Lamine Yamal's return to the starting lineup elevating the team's attacking prowess.
  • While Spain requires only a draw to guarantee first place and secure the kinder knockout route, Uruguay faces a 'do or die' scenario where defeat could eliminate them before the round of 32.
  • Analysts expect Spain to control possession and edge the contest, as the European side maintains momentum while Uruguay attempts to overcome significant pre-tournament form issues.
