Watch Uruguay Vs. Portugal 2018 FIFA World Cup Live Stream: Start Time, Preview, How To Watch Online

Uruguay and Portugal will meet for the first time since 1972, as 11v11 records, though the two teams respective superstars, Uruguay’s Luis Suarez and Portugal’s Cristiano Ronaldo, are certainly familiar with each other from the extreme rivalry between Barcelona where Suarez plays his club football and Real Madrid where Ronaldo stars and both will be seeking any advantage they can get when they meet in a 2018 FIFA World Cup Round of 16 match that will live stream from Sochi, Russia, on Saturday.

Portugal, the reigning European champions, have lost only one of their last 27 competitive matches since September of 2014, when Fernando Santos became the national team’s coach, according to Reuters. At the same time, Uruguay remains the only team in the 2018 FIFA World Cup that has not conceded a single goal.

Portugal seemed drained after opening the World Cup with an intense 3-3 draw with Spain, as Sports Keeda reported, squeaking by an inferior Morocco team 1-0 and then settling for a 1-1 draw with lightly regarded Iran.

Uruguay, on the other hand, was the only team that came through the group stage with a perfect 3-0 record, as Sporting News recorded.

Portugal right back Cedric Soares told The Sporting News that his team feels confident of victory, and the reason can be summed up in one word — Ronaldo.

“They have great players like we do, but we have the best player in the world,” Soares said. “We will study them. They’re a strong team but we also have our qualities and we will try to win the game.”

But if Uruguay wins, they will have emerged victorious in their first four World Cup games for the first time since 1930 — the first-ever World Cup with Uruguay hosted, and won, as FIFA.com records.
