Russia vs Germany
UEFA WC qualification Group 4
SAturday, 10th of October 2009, 5:00 pm
Russia hosts as second placed team in groupd 4 the actual leader Germany. Both nations are divided by a single point in the table and are going to decide the group victory on saturday. The advance to Finland is 7 (Russia) and 8 points (Germany).
The winner of this game will take the lead and has the chance on upcoming wednesday (14.10.09) to qualifiy for the WC 2010 on onw force, Germany will only need a draw for this chance.
The first leg at the Signal-Iduna-Park in Dortmund the german aquad could win after early goals of Lukas Podolski (9.) and Michael Ballack (28.) equalised by Andrey Arshavin (51.). Finally Russia put some pressure to the Germans but the game ended with a 2:1 home victory.
Germany could play on saturday with Michael Ballack but Sami Khedira and Serdad Tasci (both of VfB Stuttgart) miss the very important game due to an injury. On the other side Guus Hiddink could play with his strongest team.
My tipp: Russia will win due to the home advantage and due to the artificial pitch! Odd at Bet365 with 2,50!
