Russia – Turkey Today’s Soccer Prediction

Russia is preparing to play the World Cup as hostess, but is likely to get to this important event with few certainties, since it has collected four losses and two draws in the last six friendly disputed. On the occasion of last Wednesday’s match against Austria, the c.t. Stanislav Cherchsov decided to start Alan Dzagoev and twins Miranchuk, talented footballers, at the same time. In addition, the former Legia Warsaw coach is betting on a team with a too high average age, which is struggling to play at good pace.

From a tactical point of view, the 3-5-2 of Cherchesov – which in the non-possession phase, however, turns into a real 5-3-2 – provides discreet guarantees at the defensive level, but does not help the team to to be dangerous in the opposing half.

Although not qualified for the next World Cup, Turkey seems to be looking forward to the future with optimism, because it has the opportunity to count on an interesting group and an experienced coach like Mircea Lucescu. Backed by four consecutive useful results, this national team should create problems for Russia. The match is scheduled in Moscow.

The probable Russian – Turkey formations

RUSSIA (3-5-2): Akinfeev; Granat, Ignashevich, Kudryashov; Fernandes, Golovin, Kuzyaev, Samedov, Zhirkov; Dzyuba, Smolov.
