Suarez was the man put in front of the world’s media ahead of this one so it would be wise to expect him to start with Darwin Nunez. Ronald Araujo — who was a major doubt going into the World Cup — is unlikely to be available here. Predicted line-upsGhana (4-2-3-1): Ati-Zigi, Lamptey, Amartey, Salisu, Mensah; Partey, Abdul Samed; (Jordan) Ayew, Kudus, (Andre) Ayew; Williams. Uruguay (4-3-3): Rochet, Caceres, Godin, Gimenez, Olivera; Vecino, Bentancur, Valverde; Pellistri, Suarez, Nunez.
The difference, however, is Suarez was punished for his foul play. Ghana was awarded a penalty and Suarez was sent off for denying a certain goal. Asamoah Gyan stepped forward to take the penalty. And blasted the ball off the bar. On the sidelines, the dismissed Suarez celebrated as if Uruguay had just scored the winning goal. The match entered penalties and a shell-shocked Ghana lost. Uruguay advanced to the semi-final and Suarez, though he would be suspended for the match, was ultimately rewarded for his handball. His decision had been justified.
The story so farGhana have put themselves in a great position to advance to the last 16. They were somewhat unlucky to come away empty handed from their opening clash against Portugal, especially when Inaki Williams slipped after nicking the ball from Diogo Costa. They were able to dust themselves down and bounce back in one of the games of the tournament so far.

Mohammed Kudus turned in a match-winning performance against South Korea so Otto Addo’s team will be built around the Ajax star once again. There are still a couple of big decisions for him to make. Do both Ayew brothers retain their places? Does Baba Rahman come back into the team at left-back? Given the result last time out, it seems wise to expect an unchanged starting XI for this one. Uruguay have been similarly lucky in terms of injuries but that doesn’t make it easy for Diego Alonso to pick his team. His side have been poor in their opening two matches with both Luis Suarez and Edinson Cavani failing to impress when leading the frontline.
