Tactical analysis
Uruguay is expected to control [score withheld]% of possession but will likely struggle with slow build-up play. Cape Verde will likely sit in a [score withheld]-[score withheld] or [score withheld]-1 block, looking for 60th-minute transition opportunities. If the match remains [score withheld] at halftime (a high-probability scenario given Uruguay's form), the pressure on the favorite will increase, potentially opening gaps for Cape Verde. Goal timing is likely skewed toward the second half.
