Spain vs Uruguay Predictions - Spain set to beat Uruguay in the Nations Cup

Spain have a slight edge over Uruguay, with eight victories to seven in 15 meetings. 

Spain started their World Rugby Nations Cup campaign in July with a 42-42 draw with Canada and a 32-19 victory over Tonga before losing 29-22 to the USA. 

The Los Leones are third in the European-African-Asian Pool with nine points after three rounds.

Earlier this year, the Spaniards had some success at the 2026 Rugby Europe Championship, beating the Netherlands 51-33 and Switzerland 53-14, before losing to Georgia 42-30 in the group stages. They then faced Portugal in the semi-finals, losing 26-7 before beating Romania 29-23 in the third-place play-off match.  

Spain have had a decent start in the competition and have had success against Uruguay in clashes, giving them the edge to come out on top against their opponents. 

Uruguay struggled during the opening fixtures of the 2026 World Rugby Nations Cup, losing 41-34 to Georgia, drawing 36-36 with Romania, and losing 42-40 to Hong Kong China. 

Los Teros are sixth in the Americas-Pacific Pool with seven points from three matches.

Before that, the team from South America did have some success in November last year. They lost 52-17 to Argentina before defeating Portugal 26-8 and Romania 31-21. 

Uruguay have yet to get going in the competition and will have to produce a clinical performance to get the result against Spain, as they have lost two of their last three meetings against their opponents.
