Scotland - Russia Prediction, Picks and Tips
Somewhat even game is what awaits us this Friday at the Hampden Park Glasgow, when for Group I of the Qualifications for Euro 2020, the Scottish national team receives the visit of a direct rival for the second place of the group such as Russia .
Those led by Steve Clarke did not start their qualifying stage for the European Championship well and thus lost 3-0 in their visit to Kazakhstan, but happily in their next two games they were able to recover and thus beat the two weakest selections of the group as they are San Marino 0-2 and Cyprus at home 2-1, but in the last game of the group stage he could not in his visit to the powerful Belgium and fell by a clear 3-0. With these results Scotland is in the fourth place of the classification with 6 points, only three points less than the second classified that is Russia, so this Friday aims to take advantage of its status as a homeowner where they have won their last three official games, but Clarke knows that for this he needs to improve his defense performance, since he has not maintained the undefeated arc in twelve of his last sixteen games.
For their part, those led by Stanislav Cherchesov started this competition with the left foot after losing 3-1 in their visit to a powerful team such as Belgium, but after that everything has been happiness for Russia since they won their next three games and they did it without receiving a goal. Thus they won 0-4 in their visit to Kazakstan, then 9-0 to San Marino and now last 1-0 to Cyprus, in order to place themselves in second place with six points, only three points less than the leader Belgium. These results make clear the good moment that crosses the selection of Russia, that in the last World Cup where they were hosts only lost a game of their five games played and that earned them to reach the quarterfinals where they lost to Croatia by the way of the penalties after the equality to two goals. Russia knows that a good result in this commitment would assure them of the second place of the classification and for this purpose it aims to take advantage of its offensive power against a Scotland that has problems in defense.
