Russia vs Cuba Prediction & Betting Tips (20 November)

Over the course of their most recent ten matches at this level, Cuba have secured three draws and suffered seven defeats, so life has been proving tough for the away outfit. Russia may not have been hitting the heights that they did earlier in the season during the last few months, but 11 wins from 15 home games is still a formidable record.

Cuba have made 14 trips since securing promotion to the Friendly International, with no fewer than 12 of these matches delivering under 3.5 goals, so consistency has certainly not been lacking on this particular front. Russia are not exactly renowned for bringing the entertainment either, as 15 of their last 18 games at this level have served up no more than three goals.

When Cuba come calling, excitement doesn’t tend to follow, with six of their previous seven away games at the top table of the Friendly International seeing at least one of the two goalkeepers emerge with a clean sheet. What’s more, eight of the last nine Russia home matches at this level, including six in a row recently, have followed the same pattern.
