The group stage fixtures of Group H end with Ghana taking on mighty Uruguay. They will meet at the Al Wakrah Sports complex on 2nd December. Ghana and Uruguay belong to a rugged Group H, which includes teams such as Portugal and South Korea. They will look to do better and go further this time. Uruguay made it to the quarter-finals in the 2018 FIFA World Cup before losing to eventual world cup winner France.
Ghana and Uruguay met in the 2010 World Cup quarter-finals, and what a match that turned out to be. Uruguay won that match in penalties after drawing the 90 minutes 1-1. This could be Edinson Cavani’s final World Cup, and he would want to go out on a high. If this game reaches even 50% of that, we are certainly in for a treat.

Things to watch out for
- Rodrigo Bentancur has recently been in excellent form for his club Tottenham Hotspur in the premier league. He has been providing assists and scoring regularly for his side. He will be necessary for Uruguay at the world cup this year.
- Ghanian forward Jordan Ayew will be their main striker upfront. He plays in the premier league and will bring all his experience to the team.
- Darwin Nunez recently moved to Premier League Liverpool for close to 100 million. He is a fantastic goalscorer and scores more than he misses in front of the goal. Watching him alongside Suarez and Cavani upfront for Uruguay will be a treat.
