2017 Confederations Cup Soccer Betting Match For Russia vs. Portugal
Written by Henry Watkins on June 19, 2017
The Confederations Cup is becoming something of an important tournament since recent years, mainly because it serves as a dress rehearsal for the World Cup the following Summer. This particular version of the tournament is perhaps more important than most, as it will allow us to get a look at a couple of different things that may be important to the game as well as the latest soccer betting predictions. The first of these is how the Russians are going to be able to handle a major tournament.
There were a lot of people who were surprised that Russia were handed a World Cup in the first place, and those concerns started to grow at last year’s European Championships, where Russian fans were at the heart of some of the crowd violence problems in and out of the stadiums. As far as that goes, it has been all quiet through the first couple of days.
The other thing being look at here is the use of the Video Assistant Referee (VAR) system. This system is used to help referees and linesmen with close calls, and it is always receving constant implementations for a few times through the first two games. This system is helping get things right, and it’s not holding up the flow of the game to great degrees, so perhaps we may see it permanently put in place for the World Cup.
As far as the action goes, we have a good one on Wednesday, as Russia go head to head with Portugal, the European champions, in a game that is sure to have a big impact on how the rest of this group plays out.
