LiontipsRussia vs Brunei. Forecast (odds 2.46) and bets on a friendly match
Command Analysis
Current form
https://rfs.ru/national target=_blank rel=noopener>The Russian national team has very little game practice this year. Since the beginning of the year, Valery Karpin charges have played only three friendly matches. All the matches ended in victories, and "our guys" did not concede a single goal. The most impressive was the 4:0 victory over the strong Serbia. Then came the expected 4:0 victory over the Belarusian national team.
During the last international break, the Russians played only one match. They managed to deal with Vietnam (3:0) without any problems. Due to unfavorable weather conditions, a sparring match with Thailand was not held. It should be noted that at the moment the team has a series of four victories in a row in friendly matches with a total score of 19:0. Of course, we should make an adjustment for far from the most formidable opponents, with the exception of Serbia.
It should be noted that Karpin will involve a large number of players in friendly matches. Thus, this time the goalkeeper line was completely renewed for the matches against Brunei and Syria. For various reasons, Safonov, Golovin, Kuzyaev and Anton Miranchuk will not be in the squad. At the same time, Alexey Miranchuk, who helped Atlanta overcome the resistance of the star-studded Inter Miami in the MLS playoffs, is on the roster.
Disqualifications and injuries
Due to injuries, Lunev, Latyshonok, Golovin, Anton Miranchuk will not play: Safonov, Kuzyaev (coach decision).
Interesting trends for betting
- Russia has not conceded a single goal in its last four friendly matches
- The national team has won its last five home friendly games
- In five of the previous six friendly matches on their home field, the Russians did not score more than four goals
- In the last four sparring matches, Russia won in the first half
Estimated line-up: Lantratov – Karavaev, Morozov, Diveev, Krugovoy – Prutsev, Karpukas, Krivtsov – Oblyakov, Tyukavin, Pinyaev.
Current form
Brunei is only ranked 184th in the FIFA rankings. It is obvious that the team is not fighting for the right to participate in any major international tournaments. In the last matches, the team played with East Timor in the ASEAN Championship qualification (a tournament among Southeast Asian teams). In the first game, Brunei lost to its modest opponent 0:1, after which a 0:0 draw was recorded.
Of the more or less serious rivals, Vinicius Eutropio charges have recently played against Indonesia and lost twice with the same score of 0:6. It should be noted that Brunei most famous player is Hakim Said, who plays for the Indonesian club DPPM. This footballer has three goals for the national team.
It should be noted that over the past five years, the Brunei team has never lost by more than ten goals. The biggest defeat in this period was from Hong Kong (0:10).
Disqualifications and injuries
Due to injury, Tarif will not play today.
Interesting trends for betting

1.51Tip and bets
There is a huge difference in class between the teams to talk about any chances of the guests. However, let pay attention to the fact that since the line appeared in bookmakers, the odds have shifted significantly in favor of the hosts. The bookmakers have an incredible handicap (-12.5) of goals. Since the Russian team was suspended from official tournaments, there was a record 8:0 victory over Cuba. Brunei is, of course, weaker than the Cubans, but it is unlikely that Karpin charges are aiming to arrange a total rout. Given the very high expectations, we suggest going against the movement of the odds.
Our prediction is a victory for the Brunei team with an Asian handicap (+10.5) at odds of 2.46
Bet on total
We shouldn't expect goals from Brunei, given the huge gap in class. The Russians alone are unlikely to score more than 12 goals. The total is too high, in our opinion, in the line.
The second bet is total under 12.5 goals with odds of 1.67
Betting on the performance of halves
We expect that in the first half some time will be spent on reconnaissance, so we will not see many goals. We think that the game will fully open up in the second 45 minutes.
Forecast - the second half will be bigger than the first in terms of the number of goals scored with a coefficient of 1.51
