Germany vs Russia Prediction & Betting tips
On Thursday, the German national team tries to end as much as possible the football year 2018. Not that two wins against Russia and the Netherlands would save this messed-up year. It would be a positive sign nevertheless. Before it comes to the final showdown in the UEFA Nations League, coach Jogi Löw may once again test against Russia. Although friendlies have never been the true strength of the DFB, the bookmaker “The Team” still regard as a big favorite.
Germany:
Germany will be without a few regular players in the friendly against Russia. Marco Reus suffers from a foot bruise and is expected back at the earliest in the Nations League. Toni Kroos takes a breather and only joins the DFB squad for the match against the Netherlands (he currently enjoys the ATP Masters in London). Jerome Boateng was not nominated for the first time, he is supposed to improve his fitness condition. Mats Hummels has caught a cold and ter Stegen has said that he will not be able to play in the league match against Betis Sevilla due to shoulder problems.
If you take the form of the last games as a benchmark, those for the game Germany vs. Russia given betting odds to be relatively small. Despite a series of four competitive matches without a win (including three defeats), the bookmakers see Germany as a clear favorite. Add to that the lack of core staff and it’s hard to believe that betting on Germany will be crowned with success.
To anticipate: We will recommend in the conclusion to bet on Russia. A very important aspect will be that the focus of the Germans is on the match against the Netherlands. It is not that Löw takes the match against Russia lightly, but he has too much at stake for him, but he will definitely try it out. And that will definitely affect the playful quality.
Russia:
Russia must get along in the game against Germany without captain Artyom Dzyuba. The striker of six-time Russian champion CSKA Moscow is out because of a knee injury. For him, the native Brazilian Ari was nachnominiert. In addition, full-back Mário Fernandes should still be spared after his concussion. Coach Stanislav Cherchesov has suffered a loss in the attacking midfield as well and will be without Aleksandr Golovin of AS Monaco. It is also questionable whether Denis Cheryshev (Sevilla FC) is used.
For the Russians, promotion to league A is almost certain, even before the group final in Scandinavia. If Sweden does not win on Friday in Turkey, all rake games would be superfluous. Russia has not lost a single game since the World Cup. In Turkey, the Sbornaja won 2-1. In the subsequent friendly match against the Czech Republic was left in the 5-1 victory no doubt about the current form high pay. Sweden finished the game 0: 0. The last match was again played by the Cherchesov team against Turkey. Again, a 2-0 victory succeeded.
