Sports news - Get €5 FreeBet - Russia and Belgium, the top two in the UEFA Qualifying Group I, are all set to face each other tonight (Saturday) at Saint Petersburg. Right now, the Belgians have an edge with three points more than Russians, while they also the advantage in 1 to 1 having won 3-1 in Brussels in this March. Hence, Martinez’s team seems favourite now.

It is to be noted that Belgium is one of the top two teams in the Euro 2020 qualifying round and have an impressive record. They have not conceded a single goal in their previous seven matches. Leandro Trossard, Jason Denayer and Kevin De Bruyne are all set to make a comeback after missing the previous international matches due to their injury; however, two defenders Thomas Meunier and Jan Vertonghen are not going to be there most probably. Timothy Castagne is thus set to be recalled on a right flank, while De Bruyne would probably come back into the attack accompanied by Romelu Lukaku, who was made relaxed in the previous match against Kazakhstan.
