Spain - Russia

The fact that Spain is superior whichever way you look than Russia I think that does not fit any doubt, however, when talking about a game knockout in which even a deemed underdog happens to be the hostess of the event, somewhere I will we do not have to take it as if Spain has an easy afternoon, as it may be the set of running odds. 

Looking at things calmly and realistically, I confess that neither do I give many fortunes to Russia for qualification, but that does not mean that I expect the Spanish to easily prevail. On the contrary. As we all saw by watching the three games of the group stage, Spain only showed incongruity, especially suspensions where somewhere seems to have lost that certainty that existed in previous years. I remember taking three goals from Portugal at the premiere, escaped from ... VAR 1-1 with Iran and then received two more goals from Morocco flirting with the early blockade. 

Some are talking about the defensive operation as a whole, some about the poor situation in which De Hoe's goalkeeper appears to be both racing and psychological. In my humble view, the truth lies somewhere in the middle, with the issue still remaining "thin". Especially in the last few days of the press (and not only) of Spain has even been the subject of participation of De Héa for the fight with Russia, however Hier was categorical stating that there is no change of goalball. The only certainty is that there is relative pressure, and Russia has shown us so far that at least you can not underestimate it.

On the other hand, neither her own defense is exactly solid, nor Akinfeev the most stable goalkeeper. My feeling, then, and despite the given criticality, is that the game starts from 1-1 and ... we see, giving from there and beyond a small lead in Spain. What will happen in the end let them find each other, I based on that I will go with the "humble" goal / goal at 2,15 offered by stoiximan.
