Russia

During the current international break, Valery Karpin's team played a friendly against Brunei at home and won with a record-breaking score of 11-0. This victory was the biggest in the team's history and their fifth consecutive win in friendly matches. Moreover, the Russians did not concede a single goal during this period, scoring a total of 30 goals.

• The team has won their last six home friendly matches.
• The team has not scored more than two goals in 7 of their last 11 home friendly matches.
• Russia has kept a clean sheet in their last six home friendly matches.

Syria

Jose Lana's team will play for the first time during this international window, with their last matches taking place in an international tournament in Thailand. There, Syria defeated Tajikistan in the semi-finals but lost to the hosts 1-2 in the final.

• The team has lost 6 of their last 7 away friendly matches.
• At least one of the opponents has failed to score in nine of Syria's last friendly matches.
• No more than two goals have been scored in 7 of Syria's last 9 away friendly matches.

Russia vs. Syria: Match Prediction

After their commanding victory over Brunei, the Russian team has a good chance to extend their successful run in friendly matches. At home, Russia has been particularly formidable recently, boasting six consecutive clean-sheet victories in friendlies. Facing Syria will be more challenging than Brunei, but head coach Valery Karpin is expected to field a stronger lineup.

Syria is not among the strongest teams in Asia and their results have not been impressive. Even in friendlies, the team rarely achieves significant success, with a recent notable win being a 1-0 victory over China. However, Syria's recent away friendly record is weak, with six clean-sheet defeats in their last seven matches.

I believe Valery Karpin's team will once again deliver a solid performance and limit the opponent's attacking opportunities. My prediction: Russia to win to nil
