THE PREDICTION
Cyprus’ woes continued as they suffered a 3-0 loss to Malta on
Thursday and they now look in a precarious position at the foot of the
Group H standings. They have the same number of points as the two teams
above them but sit below them on an inferior goal difference which poses
them with a different problem. They sit just three points off leaders
Croatia but this looks like an extremely competitive group and they
cannot afford many more slip-ups. Russia are the visitors for this clash
and they arrive having held Croatia to a goalless draw earlier in the
week to remain level on points with their opponents. Russia are the
joint-leading scorers in the group so far and with Cyprus managing just
one goal in four outings, the respective quality in front of goal is
likely to be telling here and the Russians can claim all three points.
