Match Preview

Both teams are preparing for the Confederations Cup that is about to start next week, and this is their last test before the tournament. Russia fans are extremely pessimistic about their team following disappointing performances in the friendlies since the Euro 2016 fiasco. Their best game happened to be on Monday, however, as they thrashed Hungary 3-0 in Budapest, in a fixture overshadowed by the unfortunate knee injury to key midfielder Roman Zobnin. The hosts have other important players missing, especially Artyom Dzyuba and Alan Dzagoev, we can state in our Russia vs Chile preview.

Chile coach Juan Antonio Pizzi called up a strong squad for the Confederations Cup, led by the superstars Alexis Sanchez and Arturo Vidal. Claudio Bravo, Gary Medel and Eduardo Vargas also bring a lot of international experience, and that is significant when making our Russia vs Chile predictions. This is a friendly game in Moscow, though, and thus a result is not overly important for the visitors.

Russia vs Chile Predictions and Betting Advice

The visitors are considered slight favourites, but both teams know only too well that the results are much more important in the Confederations Cup itself. Both will be desperate to avoid injuries, and it remains uncertain whether Vidal and Sanchez will play more than 45 minutes here. This makes trying to predict the direct outcome in Russia vs Chile betting tips rather tough. It is more logical to assume that the hosts will try to play positive football after scoring thrice in Hungary, while the defence in front of star keeper Igor Akinfeev is fragile, to put it mildly. Both teams should be able to find the net, and the odds are good at 1.83.
