The 2022 FIFA World Cup returns to the fold with another set of matches this week as Ghana lock horns with Uruguay in a crucial H encounter at the Al Janoub Stadium on Friday.
Ghana vs Uruguay Preview
Uruguay are currently rooted to the bottom of Group H and have a mountain to climb to qualify for the knock-outs. La Celeste suffered a damaging 2-0 defeat at the hands of Portugal in their previous game and will need to bounce back this week.
Ghana, on the other hand, are in second place in their group at the moment and could potentially secure qualification with a positive result in this fixture. The African outfit edged South Korea to a 3-2 victory last week and will look to achieve a similar result in this fixture.
