Russia, unbeaten in 14 games, with 10 clean sheets in that time come up against the Czech Republic. The Czechs kept two clean sheets against Montenegro in the play-off to reach this tournament, but their overall form is a bit hit and miss. They lost 3-0 in Norway last year, drew 2-2 with Scotland and recently lost to Hungary.
Looking at their squad they don't offer much going forward. Milan Baros is still the main man, however he only scored 8 goals for Galatasaray last season. I think Russia will keep a clean sheet in this due to their strong back line. With some of the attacking talent Russia posses coupled with a strong aerial threat from set plays, I always have doubts when Cech comes for crosses, the Russians must score at least 1.
For those reasons my bet is...
Russia to win 2.28 - Betfair 2.5% of Bank
