Spain takes on the visitors Russia at “Luzhniki Arena” in a clash of the 1/8 final stage of the 2018 FIFA World Cup Russia. The game will be played in Moscow on Sunday, July 1st.
Spain has promoted to the Play Offs from the first place in Group B, having left Portugal behind due to higher number of scored goals. The Spaniards collected 1:0 victory over Iran as well as two draws against Portugal 3:3 and Morocco 2:2 at the group stage. The team produced solid football in those tackles, however, it also showed some problems with the defense which has conceded five goals in three encounters conducted. The current undefeated streak of the Spaniards counts for 23 battles, besides, “La Furia Roja” has scored at least a goal in each of them. Thus, Spain is in a great shape now, proving the status of the tournament favourite so far.

Meanwhile, Russia promoted to the Play Offs from the second place in Group A. Stanislav Cherchesov’s side pleased its fans enormously, having beaten Saudi Arabia and Egypt with 8:1 aggregated score. Nevertheless, the Mundial’s hosts couldn’t oppose to stronger Uruguay, having failed with a smashing 0:3 scoreline. Anyway, the Russians have qualified to the 1/8 stage of the FIFA World Cup for the first time ever and are ready to fight for the quarter-finals stage.
As for the head-to-heads statistics, the forthcoming rivals have met six times with Spain hasn’t lost none of them. Moreover, the Spaniards scored three and more goals to Russia in three previous tackles. Taking into account the fact that “La Furia Roja” has great offense and that Russia has problems with the defense, I am convinced that the tournament hosts have nothing to hope for in the upcoming game as the Spaniards will celebrate an easy victory.
Prediction for the match: Spain to win with -1.0 Asian handicap.
