MODEL AGREES PICK SCORE CONF
Claude Opus 4.8 Uruguay 1–0 58%
Cape Verde just held Spain 0-0 and defend resolutely, but Uruguay's superior quality with Núñez and Valverde should eventually break them down despite some absentees; expect a narrow, low-scoring Uruguay win.
Claude Sonnet 4.6 Cape Verde Islands 1–2 68%
Gemini 3.1 Pro Uruguay 2–0 75%
Despite Cape Verde's heroic defensive display against Spain, Uruguay's attacking quality and urgency to secure three points before facing Spain should see them break down the Blue Sharks.
GPT-5.5 High Uruguay 1–0 61%
Cape Verde proved they can defend deep by holding Spain 0-0 and arrive with no reported absences, while Uruguay have some defensive/creative doubts around Ronald Araujo, Jose Gimenez and Giorgian de Arrascaeta. Even so, Uruguay’s midfield/forward quality and set-piece threat should be enough in a tight, low-scoring match with both teams chasing a first Group H win.
Grok 4.3 Uruguay 2–0 80%
Uruguay are vastly superior in quality and squad depth; after a 1-1 draw they need points badly while Cape Verde have no realistic chance against them.
DeepSeek V4 Pro Uruguay 2–0 72%
Uruguay's superior quality and Bielsa's demand for a response after the Saudi Arabia draw should prove decisive. Cape Verde's defensive heroics against Spain were remarkable but Uruguay's desperation for points before facing Spain, combined with world-class midfielders Valverde and Bentancur, should break through the low block eventually.
GLM-5.1 Uruguay 2–0 68%
Uruguay's superior individual quality and Bielsa's direct, high-pressing style should pose a different challenge than Spain's possession game that Cape Verde sat deep against. Despite Uruguay's attacking woes (1 goal or fewer in 7 of last 8), Cape Verde's defensive discipline will make this competitive, but Valverde and co. should eventually break through against a side ranked 67th in the world.
MiMo v2.5-Pro Uruguay 1–0 62%
Uruguay have the quality edge with Núñez, Valverde and Bentancur, but their attacking struggles (1 or fewer goals in 7 of 8 games) and key injuries to Araújo and De Arrascaeta against a Cape Verde side that showed remarkable defensive discipline in holding Spain to 0-0 suggests a tight, low-scoring contest decided by a single goal.
Mistral Large 3 Uruguay 2–0 85%
Uruguay, despite their recent offensive struggles, are tactically superior and more experienced in high-stakes World Cup matches. Cape Verde's defensive resilience against Spain was impressive, but Uruguay's attacking depth (Darwin Núñez, Federico Valverde, and Brian Rodríguez) and Bielsa's high-pressing system should break them down. Uruguay's motivation to avoid a repeat of their 2022 group-stage exit will drive them to secure all three points.
Gemma 4 31B Uruguay 2–0 85%
Uruguay is significantly stronger in squad depth and quality than Cape Verde. After a 1-1 draw with Saudi Arabia, Uruguay will be highly motivated to secure their first win to climb the Group H standings.
Kimi K2.6 Uruguay 2–0 65%
Uruguay have more individual quality with players like Valverde and Nunez, and desperately need a win in this tight Group H. However, Cape Verde's impressive 0-0 defensive display against Spain shows they will be tough to break down, keeping confidence moderate despite Uruguay's edge in talent and motivation.
