THE PREDICTION

Stanislav Cherchesov’s attacking and evolved Russian side are preparing for the Euros with reasonable expectations to reach the last eight. The attacking vibrancy of Miranchuk, Golovin and Cheryshev behind Artem Dzyuba should be on show in this match a week before their opening match of the tournament. They come up against a Bulgaria side that are winless in 12 matches in all competitions as their national side has collapsed since and throughout qualification for the upcoming Euros across 2019. Russia will expect to win quite comfortably.
