Luis Suarez is expected to lead the Uruguay line against the UAE tomorrow. Here, Sports Mole previews the match at Old Trafford.

Along with Spain and Brazil, South American outfit Uruguay are considered to be contenders to win a gold medal this summer.

They open up their Olympic campaign tomorrow afternoon at Old Trafford against UAE, a side that is currently ranked 116 in the world standings.

The Blues have one of the most potent attacking forces at the tournament, with Liverpool's Luis Suarez and Napoli's Edinson Cavani expected to partner each other in the final third of the pitch.

Suarez's club teammate Sebastian Coates has been tipped to play at centre-back for the Uruguayans.

While they have no household names, UAE should be full of confidence having qualified for the Olympics as winner of the AFC Preliminary Tournament.

UAE: Ali; Saad, Abdulaziz, Mohamed, Al-Kamali; Amer, Al Hammadi, Habib, Khamis; Ahmed, Ismaeil

Uruguay: Campana; Polenta, Coates, Albin, Rolin; Calzada, Ramirez, Lodeiro, Arvelo; Cavani, Suarez

Sports Mole says: 0-2
