#7 Uruguay
Although they are better known for their attacking stars like Suarez and Cavani, Uruguay has displayed the best defensive performance at this world cup so far. They are yet to concede a goal after their three group stage matches. They have also managed to score in all of their group stage matches. With Gimenez and Godin carrying out the defensive duties, they will hope to continue the good run without conceding a goal.
They commenced their world cup campaign with a 1-0 victory over Egypt. Their second match also saw the same scoreline when they defeated Saudi Arabia. They put forward a brilliant display in their final group stage outing when they humbled the hosts by 3-0. They will face Portugal in the round of 16 on Saturday. Considering the records of both the teams so far, Uruguay will feel to be the favourites to win this tie.
