On the other hand, Russia took a major step towards qualification with a 1-0 win over Slovakia in their last match.

Skriniar scored an own goal ensuring the win for the hosts, which was their 3rd in succession.

Another win could well seal qualification for the Russians and hence this is set up to be a feisty affair.

Both sides met in March for the qualification match where Russia won 2-1.

This is a crucial fixture for either side as dropped points here could mean turn their campaign around.

A win for the hosts is important as it keeps them nudging at the top 2 while Russia’s win sends them to the top of the table.

It is difficult to separate both sides and we can expect an away win for Russia.

Their form looks that much more threatening due to which they can come out victorious.
