The new round of group stage pairings starts on Wednesday, June 16th, with a match between Finland and Russia. Now that we have already seen these two teams in action, the predictions become more interesting. Let’s take a look!
Finland
Following an unexpected win in an anticlimactic match against Denmark, Finns are going into this round with 3 points in their bag. Their chances to win the tournament are slim, if not nonexistent – we are a bit doubtful about this now; but the win they have has given them the hope to, at least, be able to get out of the group stage and into the play-offs. This gives them some extra motivation to fight tooth and nail against Russia.
Russia
Russians didn’t have a good start against the powerful Belgium, but that crushing defeat was way out of our expectations. We think Russia will fight for vindication in this match and we don’t expect less than a hard-fought match from both sides, but specially from Russia in order to get their first three points. Of course, they will be aming to move from the group stage. Remember that they are looking to go back to the old-winning days!
Prediction
In terms of betting odds, which is our main interest, the favorite here is Russia. It seems crazy giving the fact that they are in a lower position and with no points, in comparison to Finland in the second spot of the group. However, it’s worth noting that Finland has only managed to win over Russia once in their h2h history. One of our safest selections here is Russia to win with a -0.75 asian handicap (@1.890 with BetISN); but if you like risks, we also advise you to go with a BTTS type of bet (@2.320 with Singbet).
