Russia - Nigeria: betting tip and betting odds of 3.70

Current form

The Russian national team is still without official international tournaments, and has been holding only friendly meetings for three years. During this time, the team has clearly not lost its motivation and desire to please the fans with its game. This is undoubtedly the merit of Valery Karpin, who gives many players the opportunity to prove themselves and is not afraid to trust young people. Let's remind, now the coach works only in the national team, in the middle of the season he left Rostov.

This time, the main event during the BetBoom matches of the Russian national team with Nigeria and Belarus is the arrival of Matvey Safonov. The PSG goalkeeper, who won the Champions League, admitted that it was impossible to bring the real Champions League Cup to Moscow, but he brought a copy of the trophy with him.

During the previous training camp, the Russian squad beat Grenada and Zambia with the same score 5-0. The results are quite expected, given the significant difference in class. As a result, the national team's winning streak in friendly matches has reached eight matches with a total score of 44.:0. Interestingly, the last time the team failed to defeat the representative of Africa, the Kenyan national team (2:2). At the same time, Victoria's confident 4-0 victory over Serbia and Belarus deserves special attention. In general, there are no problems with performance: in the previous eight matches, Valery Karpin's team did not score less than three goals. And this is taking into account the fact that the head coach is decently changing the squad, betting on giving many players the opportunity to prove themselves.

Disqualifications and injuries

Golovin and Zakharyan have recently recovered from injuries and the coaching staff of the national team did not risk their health. Alexey Miranchuk did not come to the training camp due to logistical problems, and the MLS season is in full swing right now. Tyukavin, Chalov and Agkatsev will not play today.

Current form

The Nigerian national team is the most serious opponent for the Russians lately. And it's not just about the FIFA ranking (43rd position). The African squad is coming to the game in Moscow on a nine-match winless streak. During this period, there were friendly matches, as well as qualification matches for the World Cup and the African Cup of Nations.

The Nigerians started the current round of friendly matches in London at the end of May as part of the Unity Cup tournament. Here they defeated the Ghanaian national team (2:1) and drew 2-2 with Jamaica in regular time, after which they were more accurate than the opponent in the penalty shootout. It should be noted that the composition in Moscow is almost half different than it was in London, so it is not very appropriate to rely on those matches in betting. Actually, not all the team leaders came to the Russian capital. Viewers will not see Ndidi, Iheanacho, Chukwuese and Osimhen today. At the same time, one of the leaders of Bayer, Victor Boniface, is listed in the application.

Nigeria held its last official matches as part of the qualification for the World Cup. The results were mixed. We managed to beat Rwanda 2-0 in the class, and there was only a 1-1 draw in the match against Zimbabwe.:1. In the standings in their group, after six rounds played, Eric Schell's wards are only in fourth place and risk being left without a ticket to the World Cup. Moreover, they have only one victory in six matches played.

Disqualifications and injuries

Ndidi will not play today due to injury. Iheanacho, Chukwese, Osimhen, Lukman and Iwobi are out of the application.
