Many a neutral fan is rallying behind Cape Verde to get another result out of its showdown against Uruguay on Sunday after holding European titan Spain to a draw in its World Cup debut. The 67th-ranked team in the world earned a 0-0 stalemate and an even more valuable point out of La Roja and now looks to make even more of an impact.

Uruguay, meanwhile, has done something the Blue Sharks have not: scored a goal at the tournament thus far. Maxi Araujo’s 80th-minute equalizer against Saudi Arabia was enough to snag a share of the spoils, albeit not the result manager Marcelo Bielsa might have wanted to start with.

La Celeste has now failed to win any of its last five games and has managed to score a combined three goals across those outings. It’s clear that converting chances in front of the goal is an issue for the side, particularly after ex-Liverpool striker Darwin Nunez was taken off at half-time against Saudi Arabia.

Bielsa will be expected to drop the forward from his starting XI after commenting that things changed for the better in the second period of that match. Meanwhile, Cape Verde is highly likely to go with an unchanged XI unless there are any unforeseen injuries in the camp.
