Match Prediction: Russia-New Zealand



Who: Russia v. New Zealand
When: Today @ 11:00 AM EST
Where: Krestovsky Stadium, St Petersburg (all matches will be in Russia)
Watch: FS1 and Telemundo (TV); Fox Sports Go (Streaming)

Prediction: 1-1 Draw: Although Russia are the clear favaorites to win this game considering this is their first game at home while facing their easiest opponent, I believe New Zealand will surprise. New Zealand will score the first goal in the opening half, with Russia responding early in the second half. Russia will have some great scoring chances later in the half, but can't covert and will have to settle for a draw.
