Russia vs Liechtenstein- Euro 2016 Odds

In a warm up Euro Qualifying game, Russia thrashed Azerbaijan 4-0 last Wednesday. Now they hope a gentle introduction in the first real qualifying game for the Euro 2016 against Liechtenstein next Monday 8, at 12:00 ET in the Khimki Arena.

“We’re interested to have the homegrown players at the leading positions in the country’s clubs,” Sports Minister Vitaly Mutko was quoted as saying by ITAR-TASS news agency.

On the soccer aspects, the Zenit of St. Petersburg striker, Alexander Kerzhakov, arrives on fire after scoring two times  last Wednesday against Azerbajian and setting a new record of 28 international goals with the Russian national team.

Russia has played four games against Liechtenstein with a 4-0 mark. On the other hand, the weak Liechtenstein has lost their last six games in a row.
