Uruguay and Spain will be fully aware of what’s at stake going into their final World Cup group clash in Guadalajara.
A win for Spain would see them top Group H, and as things stand, this would set up a Round of 32 meeting with Austria. Whereas Uruguay, who were held to a frustrating 2-2 draw with Cape Verde, could play Argentina in the knockout stage.
Here are our three football betting tips and the best free bet offers ahead of Friday night's clash in Guadalajara.
Uruguay vs Spain Tips
Here are our top three World Cup betting tips and the best free bets ahead of this game.
Tip 1: Spain to win to nil
After coming up short against Cape Verde where they were lacklustre, Spain were back to their brilliant best against Saudi Arabia.
Probing and hungry, Spain were out of sight after just 25 minutes, and they seemed to justify their status as one of the pre-tournament favourites.
Uruguay, on the other hand, found Cape Verde, who became just the second debutant country to go undefeated in their first two games (D2), are a tough nut to crack.
Of their 17 attempts on goal, just two were on target. But the two-time world champions contributed to their own downfall when a mix up at the back allowed Helio Varela to stroke home into an unguarded net.
Although only one of Spain’s past three victories over Uruguay have been to nil, I have a hunch Spain will prevail and keep a clean sheet to maintain their exemplary defensive record.
Tip 2: Mikel Oyarazabal to score
Mikel Oyarazabal was rejuvenated against Saudi Arabia, and the contrast in performance levels compared to Cape Verde was stark.
In the opening group game, Oyarazabal had zero touches inside the first half hour, while against Saudi Arabia, he registered two goals and an assist by the 30-minute mark, becoming just the second player since 1982 to achieve that feat.
Oyarazabal has had 21 goal involvements in 14 matches for Spain (14 goals and seven assists) since the start of 2025, and he is quickly becoming a lynchpin for his country.
Having formed a telepathic partnership with Lamine Yamal, Oyarazabal should be feeling confident, and I’m backing him to score anytime.
Tip 3: Spain to win to nil, Lamine Yamal over 0.5 assists & second half to have most goals
Spain have yet to concede a goal in the tournament, and they will want to round off their group campaign in style. Kick off your bet builder with the win to nil line.
Yamal thrives being in the spotlight, and he has plenty of tricks up his sleeve. He could split open the Uruguay defence, and Over 0.5 assists is enticing.
Finish things off with the second half to have the most goals. Spain will need to be patient against Uruguay, but the floodgates could open in the second 45 minutes.
