Russia takes on the visitors Egypt at “Saint-Petersburg Stadium” in the matchday two of the 2018 FIFA World Cup Russia group stage. The game will be played in Saint Petersburg on Tuesday, June 19th.
In the first round Russia simple amazed many football admirers and its own fans in particular with 5:0 smashing victory over Saudi Arabia. Not many people believed on the eve of the Mundial that the hosts would manage to fight for promotion to the Play Offs, but now they really can do it. In order to solve the task, the side needs to keep that confidence and motivation which will disable its rivals to cope with the Russians. In the previous encounters conducted Russia collected 5:0 thrashing triumph over Saudi Arabia, 1:1 draw against Turkey and 0:1 defeat from Austria.

In its turn, Egypt lost its starting game to Uruguay and only victory may satisfy the team. Mohamed Salah didn’t play against “La Celeste”, therefore, “The Pharaohs” looked poor in attack. But Hector Cuper will probably let Liverpool’s leader appear in the next fight as he is a player who is able to bring success to his side by himself. In the latest tackles Egypt has failed against Uruguay 0:1 and Belgium 0:3 as well deserved 0:0 draw against Colombia.
Russia has never met with Egypt in its history. At this point it’s quite difficult to define the favourite of the forthcoming battle, however, I expect “The Pharaohs” to surge forward as they simply have no other way out while the tournament hosts look good in counter attacks. Hence, I believe Mohamed Salah will enable his team to earn its first points at this Mundial.
Prediction for the match: Egypt to win with 0.0 Asian handicap.
