Slovakia will be looking to secure their first three points in Group H when they continue their 2022 World Cup qualification campaign at home to Malta on Saturday night. Read our reasons for Slovakia vs Russia prediction and betting tips.
Stefan Tarkovic's side will enter the match off the back of a goalless draw with Cyprus on Thursday. Group H looks incredibly open, with Russia, Slovenia, Slovakia and Croatia all arguably battling for first position, meaning that it could be a tough campaign for both Malta and Cyprus. The home side's 11 will again include familiar faces in the shape of Newcastle United's Martin Dubravka, Inter Milan's Milan Skriniar and Parma's Juraj Kucka.
Russia opened their World Cup Qualification campaign this time round with a routine 3-1 victory over Malta that ended a six-match winless run and featured goals in both halves for the ninth time across their last 12 internationals. Stanislav Cherchesov's Russia have seen their efforts on goal rewarded 6 times in the course of their previous 6 matches. The aggregate of goals that they have conceded during those same matches equals 10. Alexander Sobolev came off the substitutes' bench to net his second international goal against Malta, building on the 10 strikes in 16 league games for Spartak Moscow this season. Zenit attacker Artem Dzyuba, who found the net in the opener, should keep his place up front, but Valencia winger Denis Cheryshev remains on the sidelines.

Daniel Garcia is originally from Basque Country, and as a kid who grew up just a few streets from Mendizorrotza Stadium, the choice of Deportivo Alavés as his favourite club is more than obvious. Because of his studies, he moved to Madrid where he graduated in Sports Journalism. Daniel plays football on the weekends, but that does not stop him from watching all La Liga matches. He believes that the outcome of a match can be predicted if all the parameters are analyzed well, including form of the players and weather conditions. Currently he is living in Belgrade, and is in love with a Serbian girl who works as a journalist at one of the famous Sport Channels in Serbia.
