Cyprus vs. Russia Tip & Quotas, 04.09.2021 – 18:00 – World Cup Qualification Europe
In this betting tip forecast, the focus is on the test of strength between Cyprus and Russia. Both teams will face each other on Saturday, September 4th at 6:00 p.m. at the GSP Stadium in the Cypriot capital Nicosia. After their recent poor performances, the Russians want to take three points against the Cypriots. For their part, they will do everything they can against the “Sbornaya” in order to achieve a good result. How the quotas behave and who will take three points with them at the end is to be clarified below.

The Cypriots suffered a bitter defeat on the last qualifying day. After 90 minutes, a devastating 0:3 came against Malta. From the 40th minute onwards, the visitors from Cyprus were shorthanded. To date, Constantinos Sotiriou has collected two yellow cards. Only three minutes later, Cain Attard managed to lead the home team. This result also reflected the pause. After the change of sides, the shorthandedness of the guests was clearly noticeable. Within eight minutes, Joseph Mbong and Cain Attard again secured a 3-0 lead. Undoubtedly a poor performance of the entire team.
The Cypriots are only looking at a lean threesome in the World Cup qualifier. This was won on the penultimate matchday against Slovenia. In this one, a 1-0 jumped out after 90 minutes. Before that, however, there was a defeat and a draw. With a total score of one win, one draw and two defeats, four points were scored in the current season. This yield puts the team in last place in group H. Only one goal has been scored in the previous qualification. The defence, on the other hand, had to accept four goals conceded. Nevertheless, the gap to the leader from Croatia is only three points. From a purely mathematical point of view, a lot is still possible. However, the quotas clearly show that Cyprus is being treated as an underdog in terms of World Cup qualification.
Finally, the Cypriots look at a series of three bankruptcies in a row. In addition to the defeat against Malta, the two friendly games against Ukraine (0-4) and Hungary (0-1) were also lost.

The Russians received Croatia on the last matchday of qualifying. The “Sbornaja” struggled in front of a local backdrop and in some cases showed only 40 percent possession of the ball. The guests from Croatia had thus quite field advantages, but also did not necessarily come in front of the box of the hosts. As a result, there was no goal in the half-time break. Even after the change of sides, no footballing delicacies were offered. Both teams more or less neutralized each other and did not develop a lot of traction towards the goal. For this reason, the scoring ended without a goal.
The first two positions in the qualification were very successful. The first matchday brought a clear 3-1 victory against Malta. The last two pairings led to a 1-2 defeat against Slovakia and, as already mentioned, the last two points were shared with Croatia.
In Group H, a three-way battle for the place in the sun is looming between Russia, the Croats and Slovakia. Croatia and the Russians both have seven points in their account. The Slovaks look at six points scored. In order to remain in the battle for the place in the sun, a victory against the Cypriots is certainly needed. The offensive scored six goals and four goals were conceded to the defence on the other side. With three goals, Artem Dzyuba is the best attacker in his own ranks.

Russia: 2 wins – 1 draw – 2 losses

This match is already subject to a clear distribution of roles before the kick-off. The guests from Russia are the favourites for a threesome. Everything else would be a bitter surprise. The last two direct duels in Cyprus were won by the Russians. The team even won 5-0 in the distance. In the course of our World Cup betting forecast, a favorite tip on Russia is certainly recommended. The odds are interesting.
