Scotland vs Russia
Scotland will face Russia in a Euro Group I qualifying match, where the match will be held at Hampden Park. The standings put Scotland in 4th place, out of the 4 matches that have been played in Scotland incised 2 wins and 2 losses. Scotland was able to win over Cyprus 2-1 and also San Marino 0-2 then fell helpless against Belgium and Kazakhstan in a 3-0 defeat.
Interestingly Scotland’s victory had been predicted beforehand and their losses were also predicted, Cyprus and San Marino were the 2 teams that were the most difficult to win compared to the other 4 Group I teams, even Cyprus and San Marino were easily toppled when they met Russia. Although Russia narrowly won 1-0 over Cyprus but against San Marino won a landslide 9 goals without reply.
Then Russia also beat Kazakhstan with a score of 0-4, so it is natural to think of Russia as the team with the most potential to accompany Belgium to qualify from the group phase because also only Belgium is able to defeat Russia with a score of 3-1. There are 2 players who shine in the Russian stronghold namely A. Dzyuba who has scored 5 goals and there are D. Cheryshev who scored 3 goals.
Besides that, the goal statistics while Russia also conceded 3 goals and scored a total of 15 goals, compared to Scotland which scored minus 4 goals but conceded 7 goals. A win over two bad teams cannot be a major consideration, but the defeat to Kazakhstan is enough to show that Russia is better than Scotland. Most likely Scotland was humiliated by Russia.
Our Prediction: Both Teams Score
Odds: 1.95
