Russia A-team is an average side and qualification itself to the major tournament has been a great success for it. As Stanislav Cherchesov's team will participate in the 2018 FIFA World Cup final stage in any way, the current competition is the main rehearsal of the upcoming Mundial and the Russians predictably are failing it. In the first matchday the side has defeated New Zealand with 2:0 scoreline and afterwards in the clash with Portugal the Russian football players didn’t manage to shoot on target even once and deservedly lost with 0:1 scoreline. As a result, Russia picked up three points in two encounters played and occupies the third position in the standings of the Group A. The team needs only victory in the matchup to qualify to the Play Offs.
Mexico and Russia have never met before. Despite the fact that the Russians will play at the home field, their football class is considerably lower than the rival’s one and Saturday battle is likely to be the last one for the hosts of the 2017 FIFA Confederations Cup.
Prediction for the match: Mexico to win with 0.0 Asian handicap.
