Cup. The application included 23 players. Teams of Russia and New Zealand
have never played each other in personal fights.
According to the preliminary calculations of the bookmakers
for this duel, the Russian team is a favorite of the upcoming game. The
coefficient for its victory is higher than the success of the guests from New
Zealand.
The results of the last two friendly matches of Russian team added optimism to the
fans, but the epidemic of injuries cannot but alarm. As a result, the coaching
staff was never able to play a strong starting lineup, which will be placed in
the matches of the upcoming tournament.
