#3 Edinson Cavani

Cavani had an excellent game against Egypt, and it is only a matter of time before he scores

After seeing what Russia did to Saudi Arabia in their opener, Cavani would have rubbed his hands in glee at the thought of facing the Saudi defence, and rightly so. If Cavani can even perform at half the level he does at Paris Saint Germain, that should be a painful 90 minutes in store for them.

The Uruguayan attack did not look at its best in their first game against Egypt, and despite that it was Cavani at his best. He set up Suarez for 3 great balls, and almost scored a superb volley, only to be denied by the keeper, and on the other occasions, being let down by Suarez.

Saudi Arabia is the shortest team in this year's tournament, and if Uruguay can get their crosses right to Cavani, there is a chance for a flurry of goals, and then some more. There is no sight of salvation for the Saudi defence, and the best they can hope for is to not concede too many.

Then again, just how many is too many?
