When it comes to Russia's games, we need to point out a few things that were visible in their first EC match. Fast transition, best counter-attacking in this competition, and the fact they scored five fast break goal in the opening game with Hungary, suggest that the Russian back players work very well with the pivot and the wings, who often find themselves taking shots at opponent's goal. That is why I'll opt for an over as they meet the Spanish warriors today. All of Trefilov's 16 players spend some time in the game, which means the team as a whole has enough power to keep the pace high throughout the game. Their defense is very tough, recording 8 two-minute suspensions in the Hungary game. Spain have a very good defense around which they build their game, but have players that can handle the faster transition too. Barbosa, who is capable of running into fast breaks, didn't play in their head-to-head meeting with Poland. She can also be very productive as a back player. When analyzing Russia and Spain's h2h games, we see that their last official meeting ended at 50 goals each, even though the first half pace suggested it might end closer to 55. 60 goals were scored in their last test game in 2013. If Russia manage to set their pace and control it, at least 2 or 3 over the margin are expected.
