Spain are the favourites for this match with odds of 1.47 with Unibet, with hosts Russia the outsiders at 8.00 with bet365 to cause an upset in St Petersburg.
La Roja have opted to get a taste of one of the venues for next summer’s World Cup with this friendly at the Krestovsky Stadium, which will host eight matches including the semi-final.
At this time of year the temperature is very cold – especially given that this match will kick-off at 9.45pm local time – which could put Spain at a disadvantage.
However, there is a significant gap in quality between the two sides and we are still backing them to win at 1.47 with Unibet.
Having qualified for the World Cup as hosts, Russia have been mainly playing friendlies since Euro 2016, where they crashed out at the group stage and were remembered more for off the pitch trouble than their performances.
They suffered the same fate in last summer’s Confederations Cup, which they hosted. Spain on the other hand are in unstoppable form, and improving all the time under Julen Lopetegui.
In Alvaro Morata they have one of the best strikers in the world, and we’re backing the Chelsea man to continue his goalscoring run and score first at 4.50 with bet365.
As for the correct score, a 2-0 win for La Furia Roja is our tip at 6.50 with Unibet.
Spain face Russia at the Krestovsky Stadium in St. Petersburg on Tuesday night. La Roja are still yet to loser under manager Julen Lopetegui, and are looking like serious contenders for the World Cup next summer. This will be a good test for them in one of the tournament’s host cities.
La Seleccion are in great form under Lopetegui and have won their last six matches. The 2010 World Cup champions are unbeaten in 15 matches since he took over last year.

Having qualified automatically for the World Cup as hosts, Russia have mainly been playing friendlies for the last year or so. They did play in the Confederations Cup but crashed out in the group stage.
Russia Form: LDWWLL
The two teams have met five times before, although not since Euro 2008 when they played in both the group stage and the semi-final. Spain won both matches comfortably, and have never lost to Russia in any of their previous meetings (4 wins, 1 draw).
