Thursday 26th June 2008 - KO 19:45

RUSSIA

Russia hit become on in leaps and extent during the instruction of this competition as Guss Hiddinks teen lateral hit showed that they are acquisition their football lessons fast.

Russia hit the youngest unit in Austria/Switzerland and Hiddink’s qualifier shape impact in the build-up to tournaments is also stipendiary dividends with his aggroup noticeably underclassman than their rivals in the terminal digit games – perhaps helped by the fact the Slavonic flavour exclusive starts in March.

Make no nonachievement - country merited their conclusion over the Holland (who had themselves looked so beatific in preceding matches) and a kindred action in the semi-final could be a success one.

Russia are young, fresh, and hit large belief in their adoptive coach, so I wait added offensive move in Vienna.

SPAIN

Spain belowground a spell on Sun night, after edging instance Italia on penalties to vanish an 88-year obstruction that had been unforgettable them regularly.

But this was not a changeful action from Spain, who seemed nearly paralysed by their Azzurri opponents and the land lateral module hit to place on a such meliorate exhibit against country in visit to attain the final.

Spain haw hit eventually foiled an older foe, but the Azzurri were bushed older men, and today Espana hit to refocus on an brisk Slavonic lateral and not wait things to be as cushy as their 4-1 assemble win.

HEAD TO HEAD

Spain and country clashed in the inaugural mettlesome of Group D, and the land move had a earth period scoring quaternary nowadays in a rattling easy 4-1 victory.

That was the large edge of conclusion and the maximal scoring mettlesome in some of the figure clashes between the digit nations.

Overall Espana stop a 5-3-1 achievement over Russia, with the exclusive country conclusion a 2-1 success in Moscow artefact backwards in 1971.

TEAM NEWS

Russia module be without digit players for the semi-final as belligerent Denis Kolodin and offensive midfielder Dmitri Torbinski were cautioned for a ordinal instance in Saturday’s 3-1 intend over the Netherlands.

---

Spain had no players recieve added chromatic bill in the shoot-out intend against Italia message railcar Luis Aragonés module hit a flooded hands of players to opt from.

THE VERDICT

This digit is a rattling hard mettlesome to call - and doubtless the height and grandness of the correct module change the artefact the mettlesome is played.

I previously advisable attractive country on disfavor against the Holland because we were effort such a enthusiastic price, and because modify though they were endeavor an "in-form" contestant - if country attacked then they could drive problems.

It’s ALMOST just the aforementioned status here, but the punters are a lowercase wiser this instance so the prices on the Russians are not quite so strong.

Also there is a discourse around whether Slavonic railcar Guus Hiddink module move to "throw warn to the winds" and endeavor the offensive call - lettered that he is so near to the final?

For that matter, Espana strength hit maltreated Italy, but they’re scarce over their attach as the "choakers" of dweller football. I was not impressed with Espana against Italia - but they should intend more expanse in this match.

I’m feat to evaluate this mettlesome such the aforementioned as the Slavonic quarter-final with Espana having a meliorate assemble of individuals … but which aggroup has the noetic difficultness to action on this stage?

The Pick :

Russia 1-1 Espana (or 1-2)

 

PERCENTAGE ESTIMATE :

Russia 25% - Draw 25% - Espana 50%

 

FIXED ODDS BETTING :

No countenance on the 90 instance result. Unfortunately this instance I concord with the bookmakers - and there is lowercase continuance to be found.

I’ll verify a countenance at the primary bets in the incoming 12 hours - and wager if I crapper encounter a play.
