Portugal vs Uruguay prediction
Crucial world ranking points are on offer here between 19th-ranked Uruguay and 20th-ranked Portugal, with both seeking to improve their standing ahead of December’s draw for the 2027 Rugby World Cup.
These two sides are incredibly evenly-matched and the outcome of this encounter will surely come down to fine margins.
Portugal have lost their last three matches, although the most recent came against tier one nation Ireland in July in what was a bruising 106-7 defeat.
Uruguay, meanwhile, have lost their last six matches but have looked somewhat competitive, and they look capable of overcoming Portugal here if they can maintain the level they showed against Scotland and Argentina in July.
