Russia vs Syria Prediction: who will turn out to be stronger?

Prediction for the match between Russia and Syria which will take place on November 19. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

Russia

The Russian national team is still suspended from major international tournaments, and therefore continues to play friendly games against opponents of various levels. Not so long ago they fought with very high-profile national teams of Cameroon and Serbia, and they managed to beat them - 1:0 and 4:0, respectively. In September, they won the battle with Vietnam - 3:0. Now the Russians hosted the most exotic of their opponents - the Brunei national team. From the very first minutes, the hosts began to dominate, went into the first break leading 4:0, and in the second half added seven more goals - 11:0. This victory was the biggest in the history of the Russian national football team.

Syria

The Syrian national team is a much more solid team than the Brunei national team. In recent years, the Eagles began to actively progress, which eventually allowed them to achieve the best result in the history of the country in early 2024, reaching the Asian Cup to round of 16. Moreover, at this stage they put up a worthy resistance to the Iranian national team, bringing it to a penalty shootout, but in the end they still lost - 1:2. At the same time, Syrians have never played at the World Cup before. They will not play at the World Cup-2026, as in the second round of Asian qualification they took only the third place in the group, passing ahead of the national teams of North Korea and Japan.

Expert Betting Tips

Before the match against Brunei, Valeri Karpin said that the main task for the match is to score more and not to concede. Over the past year, the Russian national team has been doing well in this setting. During this time they beat Cuba - 8:0, Serbia - 4:0, Belarus - 4:0, Vietnam - 3:0, and the poor Bruneians were crushed - 11:0, which was the biggest victory in the history of the Russian national team. It is unlikely that the hosts will leave the Volgograd crowd without a bright and spectacular football game against the Syrians.
