Ghana
The Ghana national team before the start of the group stage of the World Cup was not considered a clear contender for reaching the playoffs. Portugal and Uruguay were definitely the favorites. In the first round, Otto Addo’s team met with Portugal and managed to fight the favorite, but failed to score points. At the same time, the 2:3 defeat did not deprive the “black stars” of the chance for the playoffs. In the second round with South Korea, the Ghanaian team played more than solidly and most effectively converted all their scoring chances. The Black Stars went into the break, leading 2:0, but in the second half they allowed the opponent to recoup. Nevertheless, the decisive goal was scored by the efforts of Mohammed Kudus and Ghana got the most important three points in this confrontation.

Uruguay
The Uruguay national team was expected to fight for the playoffs in which Diego Alonso’s team was considered the favorite along with Portugal. However, in the first round, the heavenly Olympians frankly disappointed. In the match with South Korea, Uruguay did not justify the status of the favorite, creating a minimum of chances at the opponent’s goal, but at the same time did not concede, painting a dull goalless draw. In the second round, Uruguay met with Portugal and could not be considered a favorite in the confrontation with such an opponent, especially against the backdrop of the football shown in the first round. The Celestial Olympians did not put up serious resistance to the Portuguese. Portugal scored twice and Uruguay no longer had the strength and opportunity to respond. Today the “heavenly Olympians” no longer have the right to make a mistake. More 90% accurate football predictions can be obtained from the link provided.
