Ghana vs Uruguay prediction: How will World Cup fixture play out today?

Ghana can seal their progress through to the World Cup 2022 knockout phase if they pick up a win against Uruguay.

Three points could see the Africans top the quartet, depending on the Portugal vs South Korea result, but even a draw could see them through in second.

If they lose, however, they are out - and Uruguay’s progression would depend on the other game, with South Korea currently having the same points and a better goal difference than the South Americans.

Uruguay have disappointed so far and are yet to score a single goal. Here’s everything you need to know ahead of the game.

When is the match?

Ghana face Uruguay at 3pm GMT on Friday 2 December.

Where can I watch it?

The match will be broadcast live on BBC Two and can be streamed on the BBC iPlayer.

The Independent will be covering this game and all others at the World Cup with our live blog commentary.

No repeat of the acrimonious meeting last time and no fairytale comeback for the South Americans, who have been well below par. They might not lose but it won’t be enough. Ghana 2-2 Uruguay.
