Preview:

Russia looks to complete their preparations as they face Bulgaria at home in a friendly fixture on Saturday before the Euro kicks-off.

Karavaev’s goal ensured they drew their last match against Poland. Russia is in Group B along with the likes of Denmark, Finland and Belgium.

They have their task cut out as they aim to qualify for the knockouts. A win against Bulgaria will boost their confidence going into the tournament and that would be their aim.

Cherchesov would not put out his strongest 11 onto the park but will look to give time to most of his main men as the preparations goes on.

By the end of the 90 minutes, the Russians should have their combination set for the opener.
