Football News: Ghana vs Uruguay: Preview and prediction

They were up 2-0 at half-time, but South Korea came back with two quick goals in the second half to tie things up. However, Mohammed Kudus scored the crucial goal for Ghana and they hung on for the win, despite some late pressure from the Koreans.

Uruguay have been struggling throughout the tournament, and their attack looks weak. Their defence was also exposed during Monday's 2-0 defeat against Portugal. 

Edinson Cavani and Luis Suarez have yet to play together, with the latter having replaced the former in both games. Darwin Nunez has not been doing well, so the two 35-year-olds might be Uruguay's only hope.

Flashback: Uruguay striker Suarez will not apologise for his handball against Ghana at the 2010 World Cup. He has no regrets about it.

Suarez was dismissed from the match 12 years ago at the South African tournament with the score tied 1-1 after blocking a Dominic Adiyiah header with his hands on the goal line.

The resulting penalty was hammered against the crossbar by Asamoah Gyan, and Uruguay went on to win the ensuing shootout.

Uruguay, currently in last place, could qualify for the Round of 16 provided South Korea do not win against Portugal. Should that game end in a draw and Uruguay win, then goal difference will come into play.

The prediction is for Uruguay to win this game.
