World Cup Picks Uruguay - Russia 25 June 2018

Uruguay – Russia World Cup Picks

The last day of the first round of the 2018 World Cup, for group A, sees the field take place today, at 16.00 Italian at the Cosmos Arena in Samara, Uruguay and Russia, in a decisive race for the assignment of the first two positions .

The two national teams, in fact, thanks to the victories obtained against Egypt and Saudi Arabia, already eliminated, are paired to the first place of the ranking with six points, but the hosts, having a better goal difference (+7 against the +2 of ‘ Uruguay), they can stay ahead of South Americans, even in the event of a tie.

In the last friendly match between these teams, in May 2012, the final result was a 1-1 draw.

Uruguay

The Celeste, has played so far a world almost quietly, winning by 1-0 for both races, not without suffering and, especially with its best players in the shade, we mention Cavani and Suarez on all (although the ace of the Barcelona has built the decisive goal against Saudi Arabia). Tabarez does not seem to have been able to give his charge to face this competition, very likely underestimating the first two opponents (remember that victory against Egypt came only at the ninety-first thanks to a header from Gimenez) . Confirmed the 4-4-2 and the same eleven of the match against

Saudia Arabia.

Edinson Cavani has always been a decisive player, both when he played in Naples and in recent years in Paris SG: his ideas were missed in this start of the world in Uruguay, which to get the better of today on a well-equipped team in defense he must hope to have his most prolific football player in shape. We focus on him and his great international experience today.

Probable training

Muslera; Varela, Gimenez, Godin, Caceres; Sanchez, Vecino, Bentancur, C. Rodriguez; Cavani, Suarez

Russia

Russia is very likely, one of the revelation teams of this edition of the world; little credited on the eve, after a series of negative results in the friendlies that had preceded the event, the team of CT Cercesov has overwhelmed everyone with two clear wins and above all an offensive and balanced football (best attack of the tournament with eight goals scored by five different players and only one suffered). Russia, also tonight, will take the field with the usual 4-2-3-1, with the only doubt in the offensive department where Dzyuba, left battered in the race against Egypt, could make room for Smolov.

Aleksandr Golovin up to a week before the tournament was almost an unknown player, then rumors of the market (it seems that Juventus has already long ago the eyes on the player CSKA Moscow) and the sumptuous performance in the races against Arabia and Egypt , have handed him the scepter of best football player of his national team and even today we are sure that he will dictate the times and make the difference in the field for his.

Probable Training

Akinfeev; Mario Fernandes, Ignashevich, Kutepov, Zhirkov; Gazinsky, Zobnin; Samedov, Golovin, Cheryshev; Smolov

Prediction Uruguay – Russia

For Russia, the race against Uruguay is a real test, which in our opinion will be fun and full of markings. Since the two national teams are balanced in terms of strength, we aim precisely on the networks.
