England are Uruguay have only met once in the last 20 years and that was in the World Cup in 2014, in Rio de Janeiro.
In the Group D matchup Luis Suarez gave the South American side the lead before Wayne Rooney scored an equalizer mid-way through the second half.
Suarez would score again in the final ten minutes to give Uruguay the win, send them through in the tournament and condemn England to a bottom-of-the-table finish.

England vs Uruguay Picks
A lot has changed since the meeting in Brazil 12 years ago. England are now a strong side, ranks fourth in the world whilst Uruguay have lost several superstars including Edinson Cavani and Luis Suarez.
With that in mind, I’m taking England to win this game, even if they name a weaker side.
Other markets include Dominic Calvert-Lewin to score, Jordan Pickford to keep a clean sheet and Federico Valverde to take two or more shots from outside the box.
