Given that they’re likely to adopt a defensive approach, Russia may have to work hard to get the job done on Tuesday. Punters can profit by backing ‘Russia to Win & Under 3.5 Goals’. The Russians have the forward quality to overpower the Cypriots, but Tuesday’s hosts have shown that they can avoid a battering by frustrating Belgium for long periods, so they ought to be capable of doing something similar on this occasion.
