Russia - Iran: betting tip (cf 3.70) and bets on the friendly match

Current form

The Russian national team has not played in friendly matches for more than three months. In early June, Valery Karpin's team confidently defeated Burkina Faso and Trinidad and Tobago with the same score 3-0 in home sparring matches. These victories did not cause much surprise, given the huge difference in class.

The most significant was the match at the same training camp against Egypt. The Russians lost to the participant of the World Cup with a minimum score of 0:1. Then it was absolutely impossible to show anything in attack: just one shot on goal, the opponent deservedly won. Before that, there were problems in attack with the organized defense of the national team of Mali (0:0).

In the upcoming match, Valery Karpin plans to do without experimenting with the squad. All the strongest players at the moment, including Safonov, Golovin, and Batrakov, are likely to take the field in Kazan. Plus, the representatives of the Premier League in their clubs have managed to play out over the past part of the season, and they are in excellent playing condition. First of all, we should mention Glushenkov, who scored six goals in nine matches with Zenit. The composition of the Russian national team is balanced, frankly there are no weak points. It is worth noting the strong line in midfield, where Batrakov and Golovin are ready to prove themselves, linking attack and midfield.

The national team ended all three matches in a draw: with New Zealand (2:2), Belgium (0:0) and Egypt (1:1).
