THE PREDICTION

Russia come into this on the back of a 2-1 victory away to Slovenia last month. The Russians sit at the top of their group but are involved in a fierce battle with the 2018 FIFA World Cup runners up Croatia. Russia have cruised past nearly everybody in the group and Cyprus have been extremely poor. The visitors have fallen further off the pace, especially from their early-2010’s where they had seemed to improve. This should be a comfortable Russian victory.
