Ranking gap is the story

Spain sit 15 places above Uruguay in the FIFA ranking (#2 vs #17) — a gap of that size is hard for the underdog to close in a one-off match. Spain comes out at 61%, Uruguay at 12%, with the rest on the draw. Combined upset-or-draw chance keeps this one flagged as Upset Watch.
