After sharing the spoils with Lewandowski-less Poland, Russia will be looking to return to winning ways when they take on Bulgaria in yet another warm-up game. Stanislav Cherchesov’s troops are eager to impress in their last friendly before the EURO 2020 finals, and we are positive that the experienced tactician is going to field the best possible side this time out. Both Fernandes and Cheryshev are pushing for a start, while Zenit attacker Dzyuba should continue to lead the line for the hosts.
The Bulgarians, on the other hand, are on a six-match winless run in all competitions ahead of the trip to Moscow. Anyhow, Russia want this win more than Bulgaria, and we predict that the hosts are going to prove their worth on the field. In their last meeting in a friendly Russia defeated Bulgaria 1-0 and we predict that the history is going to repeat itself.
