Russia - Nicaragua: betting tip (cf 5.00) and bets on the friendly match

Current form

The Russian national team was on a winless streak of 23 matches. However, during the previous training camp in November last year, Valery Karpin's team lost to Chile (0:2). At the same time, there was also a 1-1 draw with Peru. Obviously, without official matches, it is difficult to compete with more or less serious opponents, which, of course, include Chileans and Peruvians. Plus, in three meetings, the head coach put a mixed team on the field both times, allowed himself a lot of experiments.

The national team of Nicaragua definitely cannot be compared in terms of level and class with Peru and Chile. Russians have played with such opponents more than once and usually had no problems. We can recall the crushing victories over Cuba (8:0), Brunei (11:0), Syria (4:0), Zambia (5:0), Grenada (5:0). Potentially, Nicaragua is included in this list.

Valery Karpin habitually called almost all the leaders to the meeting. Another thing is that there are many questions about how the coach will manage his playing time, as there is still sparring with Mali ahead. It should be noted that Matvey Safonov, who became the main goalkeeper at PSG, has already played 12 matches in a row at the start of the Parisians, Alexander Golovin from Monaco, almost the entire CSKA midfield line — Kislyak, Barinov, Oblyakov, Glebov. Glushenkov, Sadulaev, Tyukavin, Komlichenko, Vorobyov, Melkadze will be seen in the attack. Among the losses, defender Igor Diveev and midfielder Alexey Batrakov left the national team due to injuries.
