2010-02-25
Generaly, after the first match in Russia not that many fans believe that Hapoel will make a miracle. However the game is the game and sometimes results are completely different from the expected ones.
Hapoel (Tel-Aviv)
The match in the capital of Tatarstan was unsuccessful for Israeli team. It is hard to state the reason for such a game. The only justification might be severe winter time, therefore the quality of pitch was low. But the pitch was the same for both teams and Hapoel did not create any dangerous moments next to the goal of Rugukov. Therefore today it hard to imagine how the team will score more than 3 goals.
Rubin (Kazan)
Berduev squad showed quite impressive game for their first official match this year. Rubin is going to Israel as an unquestioning leader. As it is already known, the team will play without its leader Alehandro Dominges. Additionally, Razancev will skip the game, he was traumatized in the first match of these teams.
The match will start on 25.02.10 at 21.05 (local time). The best odd is 2.71
