THE PREDICTION
Russia come into this game on the back of a thumping 4-1 victory over Iceland in their opening match of the tournament. They led 3-0 at half-time and eased up in the second-half but it was completely dominant. France were defeated in a shock result against Denmark in their first match. A side that boasted the likes of Kounde and Camavinga, players who are well in with a chance of making the senior squad this summer, failed to break down the solid Danes despite dominating the play. France will expect to overcome that setback and come back with a victory today.
