Fifa World Cup 2018 Uruguay vs France: Marvel vs DC of attacking talents

Two former world champions meet in the first quarter-final of the FIFA World Cup 2018, Russia at Nizhny Novgorod stadium. Both Uruguay and France are in fantastic form and are unbeaten in the current tournament. The two teams also boast in-form attackers who have been crucial in their run to the quarters.

La Celeste will line up in a 4-4-2 formation and the only doubt in coach Oscar Tabarez's mind is whether to start with Edinson Cavani, who has been struggling with an injury, or to play Cristhian Stuani alongside Luis Suarez, instead. While playing Cavani when he isn't fully fit might be a big risk, omitting him from the starting 11 might blunt the sharpness Uruguay have shown in this tournament. The South Americans have scored seven goals in four matches. And Cavani has been the linchpin of this prolific attack. The PSG striker has amassed three goals in the four matches he has played. Two of those goals came in the crucial Round of 16 tie against Portugal that sent the Cristiano Ronaldo-led team packing from the tournament.
