Can Russia take the league lead?
So far, Russia has completed an extraordinary European Championship qualifier. After 6 games, they have 5 wins on the account and only 1 defeat, losing to Belgium 3-1 away, a favorite of the group, mind you. Because of 18 goals they score a 3.00 goal difference. 4 goals conceded a Gegentorschnitt of 0.7. Four times they kept their vest white. The Russians are in the statistics of the shots delivered by 129 of the 2nd place in the table of the entire European Championship quality teams.

They belong to the nation with the fifth most goals. With Artem Dzyuba they have the third-strongest European Championship scorer in the squad. He has met six times so far. Mentioned probably also heard that of the 19 attempts 41 shots on the goal and they gave 56 corner balls. Of the flanks, 53% of the balls reached the finish and the passing game is 84% accurate. They also have a possession of 57%. When it comes to passports and possession they are on a par with the Scots. They got involved in 24 tackles and took back the ball 229 times.

In these 6 games, they saw the yellow and eight red cards eight times. That should interest fans of the card bets. The Russians are trained since 11.08.2016 by Stanislav Cherchesov, who is stronger with a success rate as a coach of 1.62 PPS as his counterpart. He sat in just one game against the Scots as a coach on the bench, which he was known to win. Since we know from experience that the Scots can not really convince abroad, we believe that there should not be too much hindering another victory for the Russians. Whether they hold the championship afterwards depends on the play of the Belgians. These meet at the same time on San Marino.

Will Scotland return to Russia on the road to success?
Free soccer picks
Sad was the previous qualification for the European Championship of the Scots. 4 defeats are just 2 victories. They made only 5 goals, which equates to a goal average of 0.83, however, they had to accept 13 counters. Accordingly, they have a Gegentorschnitt of 2.2. Only once they remained without conceding. They also failed to score in three defeats, twice against Belgium and once against Kazakhstan. Compared to the Russians, they only shot 75 shots, of which 22 went to the gate.

31 corner balls took her out. In the backlash they were only 39% convincing, with the passing game was 84% accurate. The ball they controlled to 53%. Their keeper had to convince in 25 parades, with the keeper of the Russians ran only eight times. After all, they settled on 26 tackles and conquered the ball 224 times back. 8 yellow cards were on display. With the Scots took on 20.05.2019 Steve Clarke the scepter of the head coach. He currently has a success rate as a trainer of an average of 1.45 PPS. The only game he played as a coach against Russia, he lost with his men. Clarke was previously coach of Kilmarnock with relatively good success, only it seems at the moment with the national team of Scotland not quite work. He probably has to do without Ryan Christie in the upcoming match. In order for them to have a chance against Russia, they must try not to play away from the average on an average, but to get stronger, because until now they have rather a modest away record.

Bet Tip and Forecast
Free soccer predictions
We suspect that this game will win again Russia and can, also because of the reasonably good value of the bookmakers to a tip 1 advise. Because of the goal balance we assume that over 2.5 goals fall and can therefore recommend a bet on it. The bookmakers are otherwise disagree, as the odds tell us. According to our experience, here a placement on a Yes with both teams meet, although we are not with the bookmakers d'accord. These betting variants, however, involves a lot of risk. We only agree because Scotland has already taken against Russia. Basically, this would only be a placement on a no question. Therefore, this bet tip is intended more for the risk-taking players. Security thinkers should bet on a no.

It will probably no longer be exciting in Group I of the European Championship qualification, because Belgium and Russia are clearly a size too big for the rest. With a bit of luck, Russia can even secure its European Championship ticket this Thursday, if it manages to win against its own public against Scotland and the Cyprus – Kazakhstan duel ends in a draw. The visitors from Great Britain, however, will want to sell their skin expensive in Moscow.

Russia:
Russia is working on a great European Championship qualifying series and can hardly miss the European Championship next year. The Russians lost their first qualifying match in and against Belgium 3-1, but the five subsequent duels were won one by one. In particular, the handsome 1-2 win last month, visiting Scotland at Hampden Park, was crucial, as it left Sbornaya its last serious competitor offside.
Free soccer picks
National coach Stanislav Cherchesov is therefore on the right track and has no reason to make drastic changes. Well-known names such as Aleksandr Golovin, Denis Cheryshev and Artem Dzyuba are also present again during this international match. The only downer is the injured Fyodor Smolov, which means that the goals will have to come mainly from Dzyuba. The striker of Zenit St Petersburg was this European Championship qualification series five times accurate and thus increased his goal total to 21 hits in 38 international matches.

Scotland:
With only four group games to go, number five is looking at Scotland against a backlog of no less than eight points on number two in Russia, so the country can almost certainly write direct EC qualification on its stomach. However, The Tartan Army could still qualify for the European Championship through the back door, because on the basis of its performance in the Nations League they will soon be able to participate in the playoffs. The remaining four group matches are therefore refined practice duels in the run-up to those playoffs.

National coach Steve Clarke will not be blind to the result on Thursday evening in Moscow, but wants to see improvement in the field game in particular. In last month’s interland period, home defeats against Russia (1-2) and Belgium (0-4) were not very smooth to say the least. Clarke, however, will have to puzzle, as Grant Hanley, Liam Cooper, Ryan Jack and Oliver McBurnie had to cancel their injuries, while Scott McTominay is sitting out for a suspension. The rinsing is particularly thin at the forefront, so Lawrence Shankland can hope for a debut in the base. He scored on behalf of Dundee United this season in barely eight games already thirteen times in the Championship, the second level of Scotland.

The Europe-wide European Championship 2020 will slowly but surely take on these international match days, because the first tickets for the finals will be awarded. In Group I we do not have to be big prophets to make a prediction on Belgium as an EM participant. With a home victory against San Marino, Belgians will qualify for EURO 2020.
The second ticket in this group can also be solved on Thursday. The Russians can bring the leap to the European Championship already in the bag, but are dependent for the early qualification on a result in another place. Kazakhstan and Cyprus draw and the Sbornaja wins against Scotland later in the evening, then the Russians are through.
Free soccer picks
Belgium leads the ranking loss-free with 18 points from six games. Russia lies directly behind with 15 points. The distance to Kazakhstan and Cyprus, each with seven points, is already huge. The Scots just come up with a disappointing six points. That San Marino is without a point on the last rank, is no surprise.

Thus, the starting position for the Bravehearts is clear. Scotland has to win in Russia to have a minimal chance of finishing second. But even with a victory for the British, it is unlikely to be enough. Besides, the Scots are just outsiders on Thursday. The first impulse in the match between Russia and Scotland is a prediction on a safe home win.

After all, Scotland still has a second iron in the fire, namely the playoffs in the Division C League. As things stand, they could still get a ticket in duels against Norway, Serbia and Finland. First of all, the regular European Championship qualification is on the agenda and there speaks in the duel between Russia and Scotland much for a tip on a threesome of Russians.
Perhaps the Scots, given the gloomy outlook in this group, have already focused on the playoffs in the Nations League. This is also an indication that the Bravehearts on Thursday probably will not reap much. The kick-off for the European Championship qualifier between Russia and Scotland at the Luzhniki Stadium in Moscow will take place on 10.10.2019 at 20:45.

The 2018 World Cup in their own country was a kind of revival for the Russians. For a long time, the Sbornaja has not brought the benefits and certainly not brought the results that one can expect from such a team. Meanwhile, however, Russia has made a big leap towards the European top and should be pretty sure at the European Championship.
The latest results are further proof that the Russians are to be expected. In the last five qualifiers, Russia has taken five wins. The opponents were only Scotland, Kazakhstan, Cyprus and San Marino, but the Sbornaja has withstood the pressure and won all the games.

Captain Artem Dzyuba has especially distinguished himself. If he is in action, then the attacker is an absolute bank. In the current European Championship qualification, the striker has scored six goals. He is in second place in the Europe-wide scorer list. It might be interesting to look at the odds of a strike from the striker in the match between Russia and Scotland.
In September, Russia made a big step towards the finals in both qualifiers in Scotland and at home to Kazakhstan. First, the Sbornaja won the Scots 2: 1, before Mario Fernandes with his goal the 1-0 victory over the Kazakhs under the roof.
Coach Stanislav Cherchesov is a celebrated man in Russia since the good World Cup performance. His way of dealing with the players and the media makes him so popular.

His support in the team is great and the coach continues to trust his team. So he sees the Sbornaja in this important game well prepared.
However, many players will not be available on Thursday. Kiril Nababkin, Roman Zobnin, Rifat Zhemaletdinov, the Miranchuk twins, Yury Gazinsky, Alan Dzagoev and Fedor Smolov will all be out of the game. In part, these are already very painful failures, which must compensate for the Sbornaja against Scotland.

Scotland - Statistics & Current Form
The Scots make no secret of their full focus on the March playoffs. For many players it is important to recommend themselves for these important matches in order to be part of the game. Nevertheless, the Bravehearts will certainly not give up the game in Russia, because that is not at all their nature.

Steve Clarke has been the new head of the Scots since May, but so far we can not say that his time as Scottish national coach was very successful. A win and three defeats in four games make up the previous record. However, these bankruptcies were also twice against the overpowering Belgians and once against Russia.
Free soccer picks
Therefore, one must first wait until a concrete assessment for the performance of the new coach makes sense. Three defeats in a row are certainly not the best conditions to harvest on Thursday in Moscow something. In the match between Russia and Scotland, the forecast is not without reason clearly in the direction of the home side.
The bookmakers see the Bravehearts clearly in the outsider role. This is also because there was a 1: 2 home defeat against the Sbornaja in September. Then it put a nasty ablation at 0: 4 against the Belgians. The Scots proved over 90 minutes as completely chance.

However, the coach makes no secret of the fact that he sees the next qualifiers as an opportunity to develop his team and to work on the processes.

Some well-known names are sought in vain in the bravehearts squad. Kieran Tierney, Grant Hanley, Steven Naismith and Steven Fletcher are all out of the game. Ryan Jack from Glasgow Rangers has also unsubscribed at short notice injured. Former Hamburger David Bates has not been nominated after a crisis in shape. Generally, in Russia - Scotland, a tip on existing odds on the guest despite the amount not recommended.

Russia vs. Russia Scotland Direct Comparison
It sounds unbelievable, but Russia and Scotland have only played three international matches to date. So far, there is a Russian victory and two draws. This means that the bravehearts are waiting for a win against the Sbornaja. The first two duels hiss these two teams were there in qualifying for the 1996 European Championships.
Free soccer picks
Both games ended in a draw at the time. Nevertheless, Russians and Scots could qualify for the European Championship in England. The last encounter is about a month ago, when the Russians won at Hampden Park 2-1. John McGinn brought Scotland forward, but Artem Dzyuba and Stephen O'Donnell scored for the away win of Russia.
Russia v Scotland Tips & Prediction - 10.10.2019
Free soccer picks
It is a pity that both teams on Thursday will not be joined by some great players. The failures should be compensated on the part of the Russians but rather. The Russian players have a broad chest after five wins in a row and could possibly solve the ticket to the final on Thursday with a victory over Scotland.
Scotland will not make the leap to EURO 2020 through regular qualifying. The focus is on the playoffs in the Nations League. Therefore, in Moscow, we expect no miracles from the Bravehearts, who also lost three times in a row. We are of the opinion that in the duel between Russia and Scotland a tip on a home win is without alternative.
