Command Analysis

Russia

Current form
During the November training camp https://rfs.ru target=_blank rel=noopener>, the Russian national team plays against not the strongest opponents. The day before, Valery Karpin charges crushed Brunei in Krasnodar with a score of 11:0. It was noticeable that the team played with decent dedication, the players clearly wanted to update the record of the biggest victory in their history. In the end, they managed to achieve this. Four goals were scored in the first half, and after the break they hit the gate of the modest opponent seven more times. In addition, at the moment, "our guys" have developed their winning streak to five matches, and have not conceded a single goal during this period.
It is very difficult to find serious opponents after the national team was suspended from international tournaments. However, it should be noted that the Russians confidently dealt with Serbia with a score of 4:0. The national team has won all five of its last friendly matches with an advantage of at least three goals.
In friendly matches, Valeri Karpin gives many opportunities to young players to prove themselves, there is a generational change in the team. There is no doubt that in comparison with the previous game, there will be significant changes in the lineup, especially since a number of players have left the national team (Agkatsev, Chernikov, Oblyakov, Chalov, Diveev, Krivtsov). There is a high probability that Alexey Miranchuk will take the field today. Perhaps Tyukavin will get his chance.

Syria will play their first match during the November international window. The team last matches were in October, as part of a friendly tournament in Thailand. Then the Syrians beat Tajikistan (1:0), but lost to Thailand (1:2).
It should be noted that this year, the "Kasiyun Eagles" were able to reach the Asian Cup playoffs for the first time in their history, where they lost to the Iranian national team only in a penalty shootout.

The game against Brunei demonstrated that the Russian players are motivated and have a desire to score as many goals as possible. In general, in four of the five previous friendly matches, Valery Karpin men won with an advantage of at least four goals. Undoubtedly, Syria is significantly superior in class to Brunei, but at the same time, the team in Volgograd will play far from its main lineup. The same Japanese beat the Syrians without problems with a score of 5:0, Russia can also quite easily secure another convincing victory on the basis of class. We recommend a forecast for the home favorite.
Our prediction is a victory for Russia with an Asian handicap (-4) at odds of 2.90
Bet on total
In the last five friendly matches involving the Russian national team, fewer than four goals were scored only once. And even then, it happened away to Vietnam, where the quality of the pitch was unsatisfactory. We believe that in Volgograd the players will please the fans with an abundance of goals scored.
The second bet is total over 3.5 goals with odds of 1.83
Bet on the first half
The Russian team has won five friendly matches in a row and in all of them created a handicap for itself at the end of the first half. We think that today at the start Valery Karpin team will confidently show its advantage.
Forecast - Russia wins in the first half with Asian handicap (-1.5) with odds of 2.00
