Euro 2008 Qualifiers - Israel vs Russia Football betting preview

I feel very strong about Russia for this game.

Here is why...

Its a very open situation in Group E as Crotia, (26p) England (23p) and Russia (21p) all have a chance for making it through the qualification for euro 2008. And England and Crotia will actually meet in the last round for what could be a crucial game for both countries if things goes that way in the forthcoming games... but lets see about that.

Israel has no chance of qualifying for euro 2008 so their motivation could be higher for this game.

On the contrary this game is pretty much what it takes for Russia to head for the euro 2008. If they win this they only need to defeat very very veeeeerryyy weak Andorra in next round. If they loose this one they have to count on England loosing at home to Crotia. Hmm not something they want to depend on i guess.

On the squad side things are also looking prominent for Russians:

Goalkeeper Igor Akinfeev and defender Sergey Ignashevich, both VERY important players are back in line for this match.

On the other hand Israel will have to do without Liverpool midfielder and ditto Israeli Captain Yossi Benayoun due to an injury. This could defently be expensive for the Israelis.

Go with your max for Russia
