Russia beat Malta in the first match (1-3). However, Cherchesov's team had certain problems. After the score was 0-2, the hosts scored a goal at the beginning of the second half and had a real chance to equalize, but the ball didn’t hit the target. The Russian national team scored the third goal only at the end of the match, through the efforts of Sobolev, who replaced Dzyuba. In the second round, Russia gained a very important and difficult victory over Slovenia, thanks to a double by Artem Dzyuba. Before the break, the Slovenes won back one goal. The second half was very tense, but the hosts managed to keep the winning score.
Slovakia started the qualification for the 2022 World Cup extremely unsuccessfully. The Falcons earned only two points in matches against the weakest teams, which greatly complicated their task of progressing from the group. Russia had certain problems but gained six points in the games that it was supposed to win. It seems that Cherchesov's team is seriously motivated to advance to the final stage of the 2022 World Cup from first place. Of course, the Russians have a lot to work on. If Dzyuba solves problems in the attack, then everything is not so rosy in defense. Akinfeev finished his career in the national team. Now Shunin mans the sticks, and he was not particularly guilty of conceding goals from Malta and Slovenia, but the fact remains. Slovakia cannot be classified as a team with a powerful attack, so the Russians have a good chance not to concede for the first time in the last four matches. The game promises to be very difficult and tense, but Russia must score at least once. Therefore, we recommend betting on a clear victory for Russia.
Prediction for the match: Russia to win
