Russia vs Saudi Arabia Prediction

The World Cup begins today. Every football fans will put their eyes on Russia to watch the world’s largest football competition this year. For the opening match, Russia will play against Saudi Arabia. The World Cup host has been given a rare chance to prove their worth for the cup, but are they worth it? Let’s follow our Russia vs Saudi Arabia Prediction and find out who would win the game.
    As reported by our partners from Bettingtop10 India, the world will see how Putin’s army deal with Saudi Arabia today. Even if we hardly see the opening match as deciding factor for what the World Cup would turn, this match is still worth to watch. They both want to stay on the World Cup and that leaves winning the game as the only option.
    Many betting platforms favor Russia for winning the game with 4/9 odds.However, Saudi Arabia still has the chance to reverse the outcome with 9/1 odds. Both odds are still much higher than the possibility of the match ends with a draw, which is 417/5. With these odds alone, both team should know that nothing is going to be easy. Even if they are more favored to win the game, Saudi Arabia is actually ranked higher than the Red Bear. They have the chance to beat Russia at their first match, but they should not forget that the whole World Cup is hosted at Russia. Their fans are at a completely different level than those they have in Saudi Arabia.

Predicting the Outcome

As I said before, both of them should give their best if they want to pass this match. Russia might have better odds to win the game with 4/9. However, as Saudi Arabia is still one number higher than Russia at 63rd FIFA current ranking, everything can turn upside down. Also, both managers should know that this is just the opening match. There are series of future match they have to win if they want to win the Cup. Giving too much effort on this match might affect their next match. It’s just like the last time with Russia when they left New Zealand with 2-0, but only to be beaten by Portugal and Mexico. Neither of these are a good option, so the manager should know how to use their players.
    From our own perspective, the best odd for this game is under 1.5 goals. Under this scenario, you will win if both sides score less than 2 goals. It can be one or nothing at all. As for 1 goal created during this game, we believe the odd is 2/1. That number is for Russia. Somehow, we believe that the fans will hold the key to Russia’s victory today. Who doesn’t like the odds that the host country will win their first game? It will be too embarrassing if they don’t want the game though.
