Algeria - Russia 
After two tragic fights and two very bad appearances, Russia has somehow managed to hold the case for the next phase. With a victory today against Algeria, it is going to the next stage, since it seems unlikely that Korea will win with 2 goal difference Belgium.
Based on the image of the two teams so far, there is nothing to thwart the game in favor of the Russians. The Algerians have shown more livelier and more ready for the games they have given, have managed to score goals in both races, and generally seem to have a shot that succeeds. Europeans look out of place and time. Unable to run without imagination, like drowning in the heat and humidity of Brazil.
But here we are dealing with the World Cup. Just as Greece managed to turn a situation that it showed against her, so can Russia play a good game and leave for the next phase and knock out. Capello's choices have so far been considered as strange. Players such as Dzagoev, Zhirkov, Kerzhakov are not their key choices until now, and there are certainly choices for Capello and possibilities for Russia to do better and find solutions to its problems.
I believe that while we have seen Algeria at its best level, we have not seen Russia play its 50 skills. The Russians still have something to give and if they do not give it to this game then they will not have other opportunities. There is a recent tradition that wants Russia to win the teams in North Africa. This tradition was launched by 2002's World Cup and the 2-0 victory over Tunisia, and only recently in friendly preparation had no trouble defecting Morocco with 2-0.
I have in mind and this feature that the Arabs have to sail in the great moment. It will not be the first time that this is done and certainly the Algerians do not have the experience to be able to keep their concentration and dynamism if they find themselves in a difficult moment in the race.
It is most likely that the Arabs get into the game to keep 0-0, if they put up a counter-attack to score in some way, but they will not get any risks. If Russia is able to play a good game, then I see it very difficult for Algeria to get the draw that it wants, since they will find a way to score either in a staged phase or in a good combination. I see value in odds over 2.00.
