With three wins and four clean sheets in the last five matches, Russia will be confident of avenging the 2-1 loss against Slovakia in the last meeting. They have one loss and seven wins in their last 10 World Cup qualification matches and at home, in the qualifiers, they are unbeaten in nine. Russia have eight wins and five clean sheets in the nine home matches in the qualifiers. Six of their last eight matches across all competitions have produced under 2.5 goals.

However, they have two straight wins over Russia and will be confident of extending the same. Six of Slovakia’s last eight matches have produced under 2.5 gals and six of their last eight meetings with Russia have also produced under 2.5 goals.
