Uruguay and Spain meet at Guadalajara Stadium in a decisive Matchday 3 encounter in Group H of the 2026 World Cup, with both sides chasing top spot in the group and a place in the Round of 32.
Spain arrive in the better form of the two, sitting on four points after drawing with Cape Verde on their debut and beating Saudi Arabia in their second match. That result leaves them alone at the top of the table, and a draw would be enough to secure a spot in the Round of 32 potentially with a first place.
Uruguay, meanwhile, arrive under considerably more pressure. Marcelo Bielsa’s side has been unable to find a win after back-to-back draws against Cape Verde and Saudi Arabia. With just two points to their name, the South Americans know they need a victory to guarantee qualification.
