Ricky’s Free play on Russia:
Key Angle: It’s important to remember that Ricky never makes a bet on any game based on just one angle. In order to make the grade, all his premium picks must meet several important criteria. He doesn’t share all his secrets within his analysis, instead he chooses to reveal only the angle that he feels is the most significant. In today’s game there is no doubt that the stellar defense of Russia is particularly significant.
Key Trends:
– The Russians didn’t even concede a single shot on goal in their opening match versus Saudi Arabia.
– Spain has never beaten a host nation in a major international tournament (European Championships or World Cup).
– Spain has scored one goal or less in four of it’s last six matches.
Verdict: Take Russia
