The Russian national football team will achieve at least a draw in the decisive match of the qualification of the 2022 World Cup with Croatia. Such a forecast in an interview with RIA Novosti was made by the honorary president of the Russian Football Union (RFU) Vyacheslav Koloskov.
According to the functionary, there are all the prerequisites for such a result. He noted that he liked the second half of the match with Cyprus performed by the Russian team.
Koloskov stressed that Croatia is now weaker than in 2018, when the Russians lost to it in a penalty shootout in the quarter finals of the World Cup. “Yes, this is not a weak team, but now this team is absolutely tough for us,” he added.
The away match against Croatia will take place on Sunday 14 November. To enter the 2018 World Cup, the Russian national team needs not to lose to an opponent. On November 11, Valery Karpin’s team defeated Cyprus with a score of 6: 0.
