Russia - Saudi Arabia

World Cups round the corner and this will be my first pick. Saudi Arabia to score a goal. Decent odds and could happen for sure. A very underrated team, no one really knows them and sure they are one of the worst teams but I think they can do damage in the opener. Russia will be the ones feeling immense pressure, good chance that they may crack under it. Russia lack pace especially in defence with a38 y/o ignasevich poentially starting while Saudi Arabia's biggest strength is counter attacking with pace. They caused italy and germany problems with that, especially germany where they shouldve scored about 2-3 goals and although it was a friendly it's still Germany. I think it all adds up for saudi arabia to score. Russia are not very good themselves anyway and could easily be punished. I think we could see a 1-1 draw here, maybe russia will snatch it late and win 2-1, but the away team will shock the hosts with a goal
