Spain – Russia World Cup Prediction 1/07/2018

Spain – Russia World Cup Prediction

Russia spared some of their best players in the last game, such as Golovin, Daniel Fernandes, or Zirkhov, and proved that they have no great alternatives coming from the bank. But the defeat with Uruguay is explained in much more than this savings. In fact, this was the first major test for the Russian team, and it was not with astonishment that it fell far short of that requirement. Uruguay were better in every chapter, but the expulsion of the Russian right-back also further complicated the accounts. Now, in the last eight, they face another “hard nut to crack”, Spain, one of the candidates for the title. But, it should be noted that this Spanish team is far from convincing in this World Cup. He was left in the draw with Portugal, beat Iran by the minimum margin, and still “pulled” the draw, against Morocco. It is hoped at all times that La Roja will raise its level of play as it has incredible potential. But will it be in the Luzhniki Stadium, and in games to eliminate that the real Spain appears?

STATISTICS AND IMPORTANT DATA

Real Spain has not yet appeared in this World Cup. With a group phase very cleared, nevertheless it managed to arrive at 1º place.

The last game against Morocco was even in the “razor’s edge”, having to recover the disadvantage twice.

The Spanish defense has not been consistent, and suffered 3 goals from Portugal and 2 from Morocco. With Iran it did not concede goals, but it gave a lot of space and opportunities for the Iranians.

Russia has entered in style in this world. He hit Saudi Arabia (5-0), then applied plate (3-1) to Egypt, but sank to Uruguay (0-3).

Great expectation, to see if in the 2nd great test fails again, or Russia comes out of the first two games. At least in quality, it is much lower than Spain. The home factor can be decisive.

Prediction Spain – Russia

Russia is a team that has the support of its public and that is even their biggest “weapon”. It is true that appeared the talent of Golovin, the great utility of Dzyuba, or even the all-terrain Cherychev, but this promises to be short before the Spanish national team. Even more, this Russian team is always intermittent between getting carried away with the support of your audience, or feeling the pressure to respond to the demands. The last defeat may have created some mistrust for this game. Victory of Spain.
