Match Preview: What’s at stake?

Everything is on the line as Saudi Arabia and Cape Verde meet in a decisive Group Stage clash with a spot in the next round at stake. Saudi Arabia is coming off a 4-0 loss to Spain but can still advance, potentially as group runners-up, with a win and help from Spain against Uruguay.

Cape Verde, meanwhile, earned draws against both Spain and Uruguay and now has a historic opportunity to reach the knockout stage with three points. With a draw doing little for either side, expect an intense battle from start to finish.
