Uruguay vs Saudi Arabia LIVE World Cup 2018: Luis Suarez scores – latest score, goals and updates from Rostov

Follow all the latest news from the Group A clash in Rostov

2018 Russia World Cup in numbers

It's the second round of games in Group A as Saudi Arabia look to regain a semblance of dignity against Uruguay following their opening game embarrassment.

Russia thumped Saudi Arabia 5-0 in the opening game of the tournament at the Luzhniki last week and Uruguay, who are considered one of the strongest teams in the group, will be licking their lips at the prospect of facing that shaky defence.

Uruguay will be looking to maintain their 100 per cent record and make sure of a place in the Round of 16 with victory, after a last-minute win over Egypt last time out.

What time is it?

Uruguay vs Saudi Arabia kicks off at 4pm.

Where can I watch it?

The game will be shown live on BBC One.

Odds

Uruguay: 1/7

Saudi Arabia: 19/1

Draw: 13/2

Prediction

Uruguay 6-0 Saudi Arabia. It may look extreme but Russia were dubbed the worst team in the tournament going into the World Cup - and they scored five. Uruguay, with Luis Suarez, Edinson Cavani et al., are considered the dark horses this summer so, maybe, 6-0 might be fairly conservative.

Key Points

• It's day seven in Russia and what promises to be an action-packed day
• Cristiano Ronaldo breaks European record as Portugal beat Morocco
• Uruguay take on Saudi Arabia in Rostov at 4pm
• Spain continue their campaign against Iran in Kazan at 8pm

Uruguay have the chance to make amends for their disappointing bow against Egypt, in which they squeaked a 1-0 victory, in this encounter with the side considered the weakest in the tournament, Saudi Arabia. The Saudis lost to hosts Rusia 5-0 in their opener and must get something here – realistically a shock win – if they are to keep their hopes in the competition in the alive. More football action coming up.

The teams are waiting in the tunnel, Uruguay are expected to cruise through this match but as we saw in the last game between Portugal and Morocco, sometimes the teams with their backs against the wall can come out fighting
