In contrast, Spain has been in excellent form, winning their last two matches, scoring 4 goals and not conceding any. This stark difference in form could play a crucial role in the upcoming match.

The head-to-head statistics reveal that Spain has a 100% win rate against Uruguay, scoring an average of 1.5 goals per game while Uruguay averages only 0.5 goals. Additionally, Spain's superior possession and passing accuracy in recent matches suggest they will dominate the midfield.
