Russia host Cyprus at the Krestovsky Stadium in Group H of the FIFA World Cup European qualifiers. The hosts are at the top of the group with nineteen points from eight games while the visitors are at the bottom of the group with just five points on board from their five fixtures. Russia come into the game with a 2-1 away win over Slovenia in the qualifying campaign. The Slovenia win means that Russia are now on a four match winning streak. Russia also are unbeaten in their last seven home fixtures. They beat Malta, Slovenia, Slovakia and Cyprus already in the qualification campaign. Valeri Karpin’s side also have an exemplary run of results against Cyprus. They have never lost to Cyprus and have won five out of the six games played with them with just a single draw.

Cyprus on the contrary, come into the game with a five-game winless run with four losses in a row followed by a draw in their most recent game with Malta. They have only points with a solitary win against Slovenia along with a draw with Slovakia in the qualification group stage, and have lost each of their other games. Cyprus also have lost their last four away matches and have not won once in their last seven away fixtures which only means trouble for visitors at Krestovsky.
