Cape Verde will also play its second match in this 2026 World Cup against Uruguay.

At Miami's Hard Rock Stadium, Uruguay will face Cape Verde overnight from Sunday to Monday in the second round of Group H at the 2026 World Cup. La Celeste's head coach, Marcelo Bielsa, still cannot count on Ronald Araujo and De Arrascaeta, both sidelined with injuries.

After a heroic draw against Spain (0-0), Cape Verdean tactician Pedro Brito has his full squad available. Here are the probable lineups for both teams.

Uruguay: Muslera - Varela, Caceres, Olivera, Vina - Valverde (c), Ugarte, Bentancur, M. Araujo - Vinas, Nunez.

Cape Verde: Vozinha - Moreira, Borges, Lopes, S. Cabral - Pina, Duarte - Mendes (c), Monteiro, J. Cabral - Livramento.
