• Uruguay have failed to score in 4 of their last 15 matches.

The read

• Spain average 1.6 first-half goals, but Uruguay concede only 0.5 first-half goals per game.
• Uruguay's last 5 matches: 0 first-half goals in 4 of them.
• Spain led at half-time in 67% of their last 15 matches, but against weaker opposition; Uruguay's first-half defensive record is strong.

• Spain average 1.2 yellow cards per game, but in competitive matches (World Cup, Nations League) they average 1.5.
