Betting tips for Belgium VS Russia 21.03.2019

Belgium - Russia / Qualifications for the European Championship - In this qualification group, Belgium and Russia are the favorites to win the first two places leading to the European football survey. This is especially true for Belgians who still hold first place in the FIFA rankings, and last year's Mundial won the third place. Russia as a host has reached the quarterfinals and this is an objectively good result. In the League of Nations, both teams remained without first place in the group, and last match between them two years ago and ended 3: 3.

Belgium - Russia starts on March 21, 2019. at 20:45 SEV

Belgium

The great Belgian generation of players probably has only one more attempt to make something really big and that's exactly the next EP. On the past, they were favorites and failed to pass further from the quarter-finals, but they made a step forward on the Mundial in Russia. They reached the semifinals that they lost from the later title winner, the selection of France. In the third place battle they overcame the English and it can not be said that bronze was a failure, however, they wanted more than that.

After the Mundial they continued with very good games and in the League of Nations they looked untouchable until the last away away in Switzerland. They started with 2: 0 and then lost that 5-2 duel so they stayed without first place in the group. It was a painful defeat and it was also the last game they played. Now they start qualifying with a lot of problems with the compositions, because there are no Kompanya, Meunier, Vermaelen, de Bruyne and Witsel, and is also asked by R. Lukac.

The likely starting line of Belgium: Courtois - Alderweireld, Boyata, Vertonghen - Chadli, Dendoncker, Tielemans, Carrasco - T.Hazard, Mertens, E.Hazard

Russia

Although they were hosts, placement in the quarter-finals of Mundial is a great success for this generation of Russian players. They could have been a bit better with a little more luck, but they have no objection. On the wings of this performance they started well in the League of Nations. Twice they defeated Turkey, they made a comeback with Sweden and then decisively hosted Sweden in the last round. They dropped in and lost 2: 0, so the opportunity failed to win the first place.

The announcement of this bad game was a friendly game with Germany, which they lost with 3: 0 and now the beginning of the qualifications are expected with two linked defeats without a scored goal. When the composition is in question, after the Mundial there was a change, and now it will not look like the League of Nations. We expect to run a slightly different team than the one who played against Sweden this last match, because some players are not in the roster. For example, the midfielder Zobnin was injured, who would certainly play, and later veteran Zhirkov was called.

Probable initial composition of Russia: Lunev - M.Fernandes, Semenov, Jikia, Kudryashov - Ozdoev, Gazinskiy - Ionov, Golovin, Cheryshev - Dzyuba
