Uzbekistan - Russia: betting tip (cf 2.00) and bets on the friendly match

Current form

Uzbekistan has made tangible progress and played in the World Cup finals for the first time in its history. However, nothing could be shown at the World Cup. The national team lost all three matches with a total score of 2:11, including the rather modest DR Congo (1:3).

During the previous training camp, Fabio Cannavaro's team played three friendly matches. The national team did not demonstrate a stable game. We managed to beat Iran (3:1) and Syria (4:1), but there was no chance against South Korea (0:2). Uzbekistan habitually relies on attacking, such tactics have a positive effect against not the strongest opponents, but as soon as you have to cross paths with opponents with a well-structured game structure, like the South Koreans, problems immediately arise. Plus, the defense is not reliable: it was impossible to play in eight consecutive matches, taking into account all tournaments.

Today in Tashkent it will be difficult to win back to zero in defense. Key defender Husanov from Manchester City will not play due to injury. Offensively, Shomurodov, who previously played under Valery Karpin in Rostov, poses a threat.

Disqualifications and injuries

Khusanov will not play due to injury, Urunov is out of the application.

Interesting betting trends

• Uzbekistan's national team has lost in four of the last six matches.
• In three of the four previous matches involving Uzbekistan, there was an exchange of goals scored.
• In six of the last seven matches, Uzbekistan's national team players fouled more often than their opponents.

Approximate composition: Nematov – Karimov, Ashurmatov, Urozov, Nasrullaev – Khamrobekov – Khamdamov, Mozgovoy, Ganiev, Fayzullaev – Shomurodov.

Current form

Valery Karpin's team could have completed the previous training camp with three victories. The national team confidently dealt with Iran (2:0) and Namibia (6:0). In the third meeting with Nigeria, the Russians led 3-1 until the 78th minute, but they botched the ending and allowed the opponent to equalize (3-3). The highlight then was the match against Iran, a participant in the World Cup. The Russians played with almost the main squad, actively used pressure, did not allow the opponent to create anything at their own goal, and Golovin scored a double.

In Tashkent, Valery Karpin will not be able to fully use the main squad. Golovin has an injury, Sobolev is out of the game due to health problems, Glushenkov was not called up because of his attitude to playing for the national team. At the same time, Batrakov is likely to play, who is currently spending a great stretch in Galatasaray and regularly scores in the Champions League.

Overall, the recent results of the Russian national team in friendly matches are more than confident: four wins in five matches. The only misfire was with Nigeria, or rather, even the unfortunate ending of that sparring match.

Disqualifications and injuries

Golovin and Zakharyan will not play due to injuries. Sobolev, Glushenkov and Diveev are out of the application.

Interesting betting trends

• The Russian national team has won four of the last five matches.
• More than two goals were scored in four of the five previous matches of the Russians.
• In seven of the last eight matches, the Russian national team has not lost by offside

Approximate composition: Safonov – Vakhania, Osipenko, Melekhin, Krugovoy – Oblyakov, Kislyak, Batrakov – Gladyshev, Tyukavin, Sadulaev.
