Saudi Arabia vs Uruguay Head-to-Head: Record, Stats & Form (Updated June 2026)

Saudi Arabia and Uruguay meet in a World Cup 2026 group-stage fixture on 15 June 2026, with the two sides separated sharply in the rankings — Saudi Arabia enter the tournament ranked 61st in the world, while Uruguay arrive as the higher-rated side at 16th. The head-to-head history between these nations is limited to just two meetings, so recent form and tournament context carry extra weight in assessing where each team stands heading into this contest.

Head-to-Head Record

Saudi Arabia and Uruguay have faced each other just twice in recorded history, making this a genuinely limited sample. Uruguay hold the edge with one win to Saudi Arabia’s none, and the sides have shared one draw. Across both meetings, Saudi Arabia have scored 1 goal and Uruguay 2, producing an average of 1.5 goals per match — a modest combined tally that reflects the tight, low-scoring nature of their encounters.

Saudi Arabia: Recent Form

Saudi Arabia arrive at the World Cup in poor form, recording just one win and one draw from their last six matches (W1 D1 L4) at a points-per-game rate of 0.67. They have conceded 9 goals in that run while scoring only 5, averaging 1.5 goals against per match. Three of those six outings ended without a Saudi goal, though they did keep two clean sheets — most recently a 0–0 draw with Senegal on 9 June. Their sole win came away to Puerto Rico (3–0 on 5 June), and they were beaten 0–4 at home by Egypt in March, which remains the starkest result in their recent run. The form string — D W L L L L (most recent first) — underlines a side that has struggled for consistency in the build-up to this tournament.

Their most eye-catching recent result was a 1–5 defeat away to the USA in November 2025, but they responded with a creditable 1–1 draw away to England in March 2026 and a goalless draw at Algeria. The form string — D D L D W W (most recent first) — shows a side that has been difficult to beat even if they have not always been prolific in front of goal.
