Given the importance of the game, I think Russia will do their best once again and confirm how good they are. The situation is clear. Turkey should beat Belgium quite easily, which means this game will decided who has a win for the next round. It would be a disaster for Russia if they don't have at least two points for the next round. No points would mean they meet either France or Spain, the main candidates for the title. The quarter final would, in that case, be very hard to reach. The Czech Republic finished the job by beating Belgium. Russia beat that same Belgium by almost 30 points yesterday, displaying a game much better than in the first round. Russia and the Czech Republic are quite different quality-wise. It is particularly important that the Czechs don't play good defense, and the Russians are known to do better against less tough defenses. On the whole, I expect a completely motivated Russia, and their convincing win.
