Russia over-achieved at their own World Cup and are likely to end up battling with Scotland and perhaps even Cyprus for 2nd place in this group. They’ve not played that many away games in recent years as they played a large number of home friendlies in preparation for that tournament but 4 of their last 6 road games have ended in defeat.
Overall, Belgium are much the stronger team and with home advantage, backing Belgium -1 Handicap looks good.
