THE PREDICTION
Russia come into this on the back of a 2-0 win at home to Malta to make it three successive clean sheets in the September international break. They are challenging Croatia for the automatic qualification spot at the top ioof Group H. They come up against a Slovakia side that started their qualification campaign with a surprise 2-2 draw against Malta but have recovered slightly with just one defeat in their opening six matches, being knocked out of UEFA Euro 2020 at the group stage in the middle of that. Russia will come into this as the slight favourites.
