Who do Russia play next at the Euros?
As for the Russian football fixtures at Euros, they have been drawn alongside one of the most feared teams at this year’s tournament Belgium in Group B. Russia kick off their Euros campaign against the well touted Belgians on 12th June in St Petersburg. Following this tricky encounter, they go on to face Finland on 16th June, also in St Petersburg. Russia then finish off their group stage fixtures against Denmark in Copenhagen.
What are the odds that Russia win the Euros?
Russia definitely enter this tournament with a talented squad but their history does go against them slightly and with a tricky group it’s not hard to see why they are 100/1 to win the Euros outright. They are, however, well priced at 5/2 to reach the quarter-finals.
What is the latest news on the Russia football team?
With no injury news for the Russian team, they have successfully completed their tournament warm-up in Austria, which should also be said was the last location they had their pre-tournament warm-up when they reached the quarter-finals of their World Cup on home soil. Could it be fate or well laid plans that they have set out? Only time will tell.
