Group 4 in European qualifying for the 2010 World Cup finals in South Africa reaches a crucial stage on Saturday evening in Moscow, when Russia face Germany in a match than could decide which one of these two teams automatically qualifies for next year’s tournament.
See how the match pans out by joining us here at oleolefootball.com and enjoying the live stream soccer in all its glory.
As things currently stand in Group 4, Germany lead the way after eight games with 22 points while Russia sit just one point behind on 21. Germany obviously qualify with a victory, while a draw will take it down to the final game – a final game that both sides would expect to win; Germany at home to faltering Finland, while Russia play away to Azerbaijan.
Both teams have won seven games in the group proceedings so far, the only difference being in that whereas Germany have drawn the other match, Russia lost it – 2-1 to Germany in the reverse fixture last October.
So far Russia have won all their home games, scoring ten goals in the process while only conceding one, whereas the Germans have three wins and a draw in their four away games so far, scoring thirteen goals while conceding three.
The game, therefore, is set up to be a fascinating battle which could turn into a battle of wits between the two managers, but Russia will have the slight advantage of playing on their artificial surface.
