On the other hand we have the Russian team which is currently in a period of football renewal and does not have any world class players to face this Eurocup but in the same way they can surprise because other teams may take them for granted Their aspirations are minimal so advancing to the next round in this tournament would be an excellent entry for the Russians

This first home game can provide them with extra motivation although Belgium is far above them footballing speaking Another point to note is that Russia has only managed to win 3 of its last 11 games Russia comes from drawing against the Polish team 1 1 and defeating Bulgaria 1 0 in their previous two preparation matches
