Sweden national football team takes on the visitorы Russia national football team in UEFA Nations League - League B - Round 6.
The Swedes are surely mentally drained after the FIFA World Cup, as after summiting such ascent as the Last Eight of the world’s forum, it is hard to downgrade yourself to the level of daily grind and to play full force in the almost half-control game. That’s what accounts for the absolutely stupid loss falling to the Turks 2-3. Nevertheless, even losing 2-3 in the first tour and playing 0-0 vs the Russians in the second one, still the destiny of the Swedish national football team is in their hands! Win the Russians in this match and the Turks in a couple of days and the first place in the group is in the bag! Considering the colossal problems with the Russians’ team squad, the Swedes’ win seems to be very real!
Russian national football team is very affected by 2-3 players, and all of them are absent now because of the injuries. Fernandes is injured. It means less activity and creativity on the flank. Golovin is injured. It means a tame center spot. In addition, there is no attack without Dzyuba at all. A call-up to a national team of Ariclenes is understandable because of his more or less good play in the club. However, I don’t understand the sense of the main Russian football log’s presence. I am talking about Zabolotny of course… In general, Russian national football team was whomped up… In addition, their only chance of positive success in Sweden is parking the bus and keep 0-0. Such score is satisfying for the Cherchessov’s team.
I would say that the two sides are not evenly matched. The Swedes’ optimum team squad vs half-packed Russian national team. My stake on this match is Team 1 to win with 0.0 handicap. I choose a handicap because I am not sure that the Swedes can disclose Russians’ deep dispositions, as they will do all their best to defend 0-0 on the scoreboard. In addition, it’s not right to exclude the starting zeroes. However, generally, the home team is closer to victory.
Prediction for the match: Sweden to win with 0.0 handicap.
