Doha, December 1: The Group H of the 2022 FIFA World Cup has been a cracker so far. With Portugal having already qualified from the group, all the other three sides still have hopes of making the round of 16.
Ghana and Uruguay will face off against each other in a much-anticipated encounter in their final group game. Ghana will be keen to take a revenge on the South Americans for their controversial win against them back in 2010 World Cup with Luis Suarez deliberately stopping a goal with his hand.
A point would be enough for Ghana unless Portugal lose against South Korea whereas Uruguay must win their own game and will also have to hope for South Korea dropping points. This promises to be a cracker of a game with plenty at stake for both sides and with the two of them sharing a bitter history with each other.
Match date: December 2

Ghana vs Uruguay players to watch out for:
Ghana: Mohammed Kudus has been exceptional for Ghana in the World Cup so far. The Ajax midfielder has scored twice in two games already and will be the one to watch out for against Uruguay.
Uruguay: Uruguay have a plethora of talented players in their ranks but have not quite been able to live up to their potential in the World Cup yet. Real Madrid midfielder Federico Valverde needs to be at the top of his game for Uruguay if they have to advance to the knockout stage.
Ghana vs Uruguay prediction:
Ghana have done pretty well in the World Cup so far despite being the lowest ranked country in the tournament. However, they will still be underdogs against Uruguay who have plenty of experience at the highest level and are in a desperate need for a win. We predict a 1-3 win for Uruguay.
