Stanislav Cherchesov’s team has a victory in Hungary and a defeat in Turkey, and the dispute in Belgrade is announced with sparks.
Russia was the best team in this group, led the hostilities and will try to finish the edition with its forehead on the first position. The result of the other match in the group also matters, but the Russians have the direct matches with Hungary on their side, in case of a tie.
