Belarus - Russia: betting tip (cf 2.75) and bets on the friendly match

Current form

Belarus will start qualifying for the World Cup with an away match against Greece only in September. Now the national team is actively preparing for difficult battles through friendly matches. It is worth noting that the players delight their fans. In the previous three sparring sessions, Carlos Aloso's team achieved victories.

During the previous international winter, the national team of Belarus held away matches against Tajikistan and Azerbaijan. We managed to confidently beat these rivals with a dry score of 5:0 and 2:0, respectively. Four days ago, the Belarusian squad did not leave a single chance for the national team of Kazakhstan (4:1). In that meeting, the hosts scored two goals in the first half. In the second 45 minutes, the Belarusians slowed down a little, continued to play aggressively in attack, scored two more goals, the opponent managed to score only a prestige goal.

There is definitely no denying the tangible progress in the game and the results of the national team. The team played well in Division C in the League of Nations, where it took third place, passing ahead only of Northern Ireland and Bulgaria. Belarus has allowed itself only one defeat in six rounds played – against Northern Ireland (0:2). Carlos Aloso has built a fighting team, which is distinguished by a well-organized defensive game, first of all. So, in the League of Nations, the national team conceded only four goals. Judging by the recent friendly matches, we managed to noticeably improve in attack, as evidenced by 11 goals in three meetings.

It should be noted that today the national team of Belarus will play its first match at the renovated National Stadium in Minsk. A full house and decent fan support are expected. Before that, on June 7, the youth national team of Belarus and China played at this arena, the stadium was filled to capacity, and the president of the country took part in the opening ceremony of the arena after the reconstruction.

Current form

The Russian national team broke its impressive winning streak of eight matches. Valery Karpin's team held a friendly meeting with Nigeria in Moscow on June 6. It was the team's most serious opponent in recent times. We managed to open an account in that game thanks to an own goal by Nigerian Ajaya. In the future, it cannot be said that the opponent seized the initiative, but in the 71st minute there was a gross mistake by Matvey Safonov: the goalkeeper made a pass to Glebov, but the ball was intercepted by Arokodar and equalized the score. The 1-1 draw, in general, demonstrated that the national team, even without participating in official matches, holds a certain level, because it played with the 43rd FIFA ranking team. Of course, we will correct that in that meeting, both Russia and Nigeria did not have the full main squad.

Despite the draw with the Nigerians, the Russian national team's unbeaten streak in friendly matches currently stands at 20 matches (12 wins and eight draws). The scoring streak of the national team reached the mark of 14 matches.

The Russians have an away friendly match ahead. It should be noted that Valery Karpin's team is not very productive in sparring matches and has not scored more than two goals in 10 of the 12 previous matches.
