Russia vs Kazakhstan Prediction & Betting tips
Being host of a European Championship or World Cup is a great honor and challenge for a country at the same time. It is also a chance, which is good to see at the 2006 World Cup of Germans. The third place in the summer fairy tale was the starting signal for the golden generation, which won the 2014 World Cup title in Brazil.
For the Euro next summer, there are quite a lot of hosts or the whole of Europe is hosting. For the first time, the tournament does not take place in a special country for the first time, but rather spreads across the entire continent.
The last host of a major event wants to be part of the event: Russia. The largest country in the world in terms of area could also use the World Cup in the home with the entry into the quarter-finals, to trigger a small football boom. It looks like the ticket for the European Championship can be solved without any problems. The starting position in Group I is very clear.
At the top, the Belgians are pulling their circles without losing points. Behind them, the Russians are in a safe second place. A 2-1 away win in Scotland has made a kind of preliminary decision, which would be even clearer if Stanislav Salchowitsch Chertschessow’s side were relegated on Monday and clinched the clear victory against Kazakhstan.
The guests are currently third and could be distanced to eight points. It is all done for a home win and between Russia and Kazakhstan, the odds for a tip on the winner speak a clear language. At 19:45 o’clock on Monday evening the kick-off in the Kaliningrad Stadium takes place.
Russia:
The loss to the opening match against the World Cup third Belgium was calculated and could be coped with by the Russians, Since then, it runs in the qualifier as lubricated. Four victories followed against Kazakhstan, San Marino, Cyprus and Scotland. With just one goal in the four games, the defense was a real guarantee of success. But offensively it runs 17 matches in the five matches really round.
Top scorer is Artem Dzyuba of Zenit St. Petersburg. The 31-year-old met four times alone against the football dwarf San Marino. Also on Friday he was successful in the important away game in Scotland. He marked the important equalizer just before halftime, before O’Donnell’s own goal secured the visitors’ threesome in the second half.
Thus, the opponent of the island is distant and with a home win against Kazakhstan, the ticket for the European Championship could almost be solved. At least a threesome in the second leg against San Marino is almost certain. Personally there is no reason for coach Stanislaw Salamovich Chertschessow to make many changes.
The time for experiments has not come yet. He and his team are serious about tackling the task in Kaliningrad. If Russia holds its ground against Kazakhstan, then a forecast in favor of the hosts is certain.
Basically, the favorite in this game can almost only stand a leg himself. The German fans, especially the followers of Schalke 04, know Roman Neustädter still well and are curious if the midfielder of Dynamo Moscow this time will be used.
Kazakhstan:
Kazakhstan is far from a real football dwarf, which was more than clear in the 4-0 win over San Marino. However, qualifying for a major tournament would still be a sensation for the Czech coach Bilek’s squad. Despite a promising third place currently the Kazakhs have rather bad cards.
On Monday already an away win in Russia from Kazakhstan ago, which is unlikely with double-digit quotas on the part of the guests. The performance on Friday in Cyprus also does not give much hope. After an early opening goal by striker Aleksey Schetkin in the second minute, there was not much left on the Mediterranean island.
In the end, the Bilek protégés had to be happy to take home another point with the 1-1 draw. Defensively, the idea was very neat and with eight goals conceded in the previous five qualifying matches you can hardly put up anything in the defense work.
The clearest defeat conceded the Kazakhs so far in the first leg against Russia. For the 0: 4 at home, the team would now like to return the favor. However, it is doubtful that the quality in the squad is enough to keep up with the Russians over 90 minutes. Even a point win would be a great success and a real surprise.
