Correct score prediction: Russia 3-0 Peru
These are two teams on opposite sides in terms of recent form. On one hand, Russia are currently on a three-game winning streak and a 17-match unbeaten run (W13, D4). They have been solid defensively, keeping 10 clean sheets in their last 14 matches.
In contrast, Peru have lost three games in a row and have no wins in their last six matches. They have also struggled in front of goal, scoring only once in that six-game stretch.
Taking everything into account, we are confident that this will be business as usual for Russia.

Player to watch: Ivan Sergeyev
Ivan Sergeyev has had an eventful month so far, scoring in his last two appearances for Dynamo Moscow. The 30-year-old has also been impressive for the Russian national team, with five goal contributions in his last four international friendly assignments.
Sergeyev will look to extend his scoring run to three matches when these teams take the field on Wednesday evening.
