SPAIN
Team Spain in the first match missed the victory over Portugal, but in general it looked very good. In that duel, fortune was clearly not on the side of the Spaniards, who had to recoup twice during the match. In the end, it ended in a draw 3: 3, which can be considered Spaniards loss of points. In the second match, the team of Fernando Hierro was also very unconvincing, having minutely defeated Iran. Goal Diego Costa has brought three points in the piggy bank of Spain, but Iran played very worthy.
In the third match the Spaniards again could not win. The Moroccan national team, which by that time had already lost the chance to withdraw from the group, had fiercely resisted, twice in the course of the match leading in the account. The Spaniards saved the game for themselves, but they still did not show the game the fans expect from them.
Before the match with Russia Fernando Hierro gave an interview to the press, in which he noted the support of the fans of the Russians, and this. In his opinion, will give a certain advantage to the team of Stanislav Cherchesov. Also, the coach of the "red furies" expressed his conviction that his players need to concentrate on their game, which until recently was, to put it mildly, not ideal.

RUSSIA
The Russian team started on the "mundiale" duel with Saudi Arabia. The Russians confidently beat the opponent 5-0, coping with the huge public pressure. In a duel with Egypt, despite all the pessimistic moods, the Russian team also looked very confident, beating an opponent with a score of 3: 1 in St. Petersburg. The first half ended in a goalless draw, but in the second half of the meeting, Russia did not slow down and it paid off. At first, Akhmed Fathi scored an own goal, then Denis Cheryshev and Artem Dzyuba scored on the goal, Egypt could only reply with a goal from Mohammed Salah from the penalty spot.
With these two victories, Stanislav Cherchesov's team guaranteed themselves a way out of the group, it only remained to not lose Uruguay in the last match to stay in the first place. However, Uruguay was very attuned to the match and did not allow the hostess of the tournament to finish the group stage without defeats. A key role was played by the standards, under which the Russian team made too many mistakes. Also worth noting that most of the fight the Russians played in the minority, Igor Smolnikov in 36 minutes managed to earn two yellow cards.
There were a lot of questions to the refereeing, this was noted by the forward of the Russian team Artem Dzyuba. In his opinion, the referee took the opponent's side in controversial situations, which ultimately influenced the final result. The task at least Cherchesov has already fulfilled, and now the Russians will play much easier.

Forecast
Team Spain is the clear favorite of the fight. Despite not a weak game, the "red fury" is staffed with world-class players, and the players interact with each other perfectly, the current line played more than one year. Even in those situations when the team's game is clearly not glued, the result is obtained from the individual actions of the leaders, it is also a trump card in Spain under Fernando Hierro. The Russian national team showed their best football in the first two meetings, but in a match with Uruguay "to shoot" failed.

The status contender did not forgive mistakes, which in large numbers were present at the players of the Russian team. Before the removal of Igor Smolnikov, the score was already 0: 2, so Cherchesov's justification must be sought in something else. If Stanislaw Salamovich does not manage to put his team back on the rails from which Uruguay knocked them down, Russians should hardly be expected to win.
In our opinion, the Russian team will not be able to compete with the Spaniards. Forecast for the duel - the victory of the Spanish national team. In 1xStack such an outcome can be found with a coefficient of 1.66.
