Russia Preview – Russians to make it ten points from 12?
Stanislav Cherchesov’s men have been strong in the 2020-21 Nations League. The Russians have taken seven points from a possible nine, winning two and drawing one up until now.
Russia started with a comfortable 3-1 win over Serbia at the VTB Arena in Moscow last month. Artem Dzyuba was the hero, with the Zenit Saint Petersburg man netting twice in the victory – Vyacheslav Karavayev got the other.
Russia then edged a five-goal thriller against Hungary in Budapest on matchday two. The Russians raced into a 3-0 lead at the Puskas Arena, eventually sealing a narrow 3-2 victory.
Last weekend, Cherchesov’s troops dropped points in the group for the first time, drawing 1-1 with Turkey in Moscow. Will they return to winning ways on Wednesday?
Hungary Preview – Hungarians sure to give the hosts a good game in Moscow
Hungary have had a decent Nations League campaign so far. Their competition began with an excellent victory over Turkey in Sivas in September, with Dominik Szoboszlai’s goal ten minutes from the end giving the Hungarians a 1-0 win.
As we touched on, Hungary were on the wrong end of an enthralling five-goal encounter against the Russians in their second fixture. However, they were back to winning ways last time out, sealing a second away win of their campaign. This time a Norbert Konyves goal was enough for an impressive 1-0 victory in Serbia.
