Uruguay vs France Prediction in World Cup Final Quarter
Uruguay national team will face France in the World Cup quarter-finals 2018 at Nizhny Novgorod Stadium. Here are the predictions of Uruguay vs France match.
This match will be the fourth meeting for Uruguay and France at the World Cup. However, France have not even won over Uruguay in this four-year tournament. Of the previous three games, Uruguay won once and two other matches ended in a draw.
The victory not only brought France into the semi-finals for the first time after becoming a World Cup finalist in 2006, but also broke a bad record when meeting Uruguay.
France Have More Complete Quality
The game is predicted to take place interesting. France has one of the best attacking lines in the 2018 World Cup, while Uruguay are very strong on the back line and have conceded just one goal into the quarter-finals.
Unsurprised striker Edinson Cavani and losing quality in central Uruguay made me predict France will win this quarter-final duel. France has a more complete quality from back to front.
If coach Didier Deschamps can ensure the French back line does not do a few small mistakes that led to a goal against Argentina, Les Bleus I predicted can win 2-0 over Uruguay.

Edinson Cavani is doubtful to appear in this fight, but Luis Suarez have enough ability to lead Uruguay's attack line. Especially face the French defense that lost Blaise Matuidi.
Without Cavani, Uruguay coaches can also enter an additional midfielder to face duo N'Golo Kante and Paul Pogba in midfield France.
One other thing that could be their Uruguayan advantage is the stubbornness of playing especially in the face of stressful situations. Leadership Diego Godin, Suarez, Rodrigo Bentancur could be important if the game is still a dead end near the end of the game. Uruguay win 2-1.

After defeating Peru and Argentina, France will face another South American representative who has a more solid game. Uruguay augul with coach Oscar Tabarez is likely to return to play a 4-4-2 formation that tends to wait for the opponent and then strike back at speed.
The existence of Diego Godin and Jose Gimenez will have a major impact on the resilience of the team, while if Edinson Cavani is absent will be a loss.
Didier Deschamps in France has the opportunity to put Kylian Mbappe back as a wing striker to support Antoine Griezmann or Olivier Giroud as the spearhead banged up a newly conceded Uruguayan defense goal. Blaise Matuidi's absence demanded Corentin Tolisso play with the best performance to break the flow of Uruguay's attack with N'Golo Kante. France won 2-0.
Counterattack France is a Uruguay Nightmare
France will face Uruguay in the 2018 World Cup quarterfinal match. France are a team with a terrible attack line while Uruguay are a team with good defense.
Despite having a good defense, Uruguay did not necessarily play defensive because in front they have Luis Suarez and Edinson Cavani.
In normal attack, Uruguay defense will be difficult to penetrate because it has proved its quality in the last four games.
But it will meet the test when they face a French counterattack. Kylian Mbappe and Antoine Griezmann have an amazing speed. This is likely to be difficult dammed by Uruguay. France will be in the semi-finals with a 3-1 victory.
Turn of the French Victory Griezmann
The name Antoine Griezmann arguably less prominent than Kylian Mbappe in the 2018 World Cup. Whereas Griezmann mentioned to be one of the top candidates for this year's World Cup. However, in the last four games Griezmann new two-goal print, it was from the penalty spot. While Mbappe has scored three goals and giving one assist. Paris Saint-Germain young striker was also a star of Les Bleus victory over Argentina in the last 16 of last.
But in the quarter-finals against Uruguay it was Griezmann's turn to be the spotlight. The Atletico Madrid player will deliver France to the semi-finals with his goals. With Mbappe's potential appearing in the last 16, the former US Monaco player will be overseen by the Uruguayan players. The condition could open space for Griezmann to score from open games, not just a penalty. I predict France will win 3-2.
France eliminate Uruguay
Uruguay look impressive after defeating Portugal 2-1 in round 16 of the 2018 World Cup. Not only sharp on the front lines, La Celeste also status as a team that has the best defense so far with a record of one conceded.
But, La Celeste is very dependent on the duo Luis Suarez and Edinson Cavani up front. Uruguay attack certainly limp if Cavani has not recovered from a calf injury he experienced in the last fight.
In contrast, France has a more complete and fresh squad in all positions. Kylian Mbappe, Antoine Griezmann, and Olivier Giroud could be a serious threat to test the solidity of Uruguay's defense. Thus I predict France won 2-1 over Uruguay.
Uruguay Get Rid of France
Uruguay is still superior in terms of defense ahead of France. La Celeste has only conceded since the group phase until the last 16, while France has conceded four times.
