Intrigue: Will Russia achieve its first victory in six months?
The series of unusual friendly matches of the Russian national team continues. In search of practice, our team recently flew to a match with the Egyptian Olympic team, which ended in a draw (1:1). Now a new trip to the Middle East, this time to Qatar, where the World Cup was recently held. Can Karpin’s players win? If yes, this will be the first success in six months. The last time Russia beat Iraq was in March of this year (2-0).

🏐 19:00: Poland – Serbia, EURO 2023 (m), quarterfinals
Intrigue: which team will be better combined?
The Poles, with the longest bench, continue to experiment with their lineup when it comes time to decide on the final six. In the match against Belgium this almost affected the result, but Nikola Grbic’s team found a solution and closed the match in four games. Although they are already in the final phase of the playoffs, the great variability in the positions can become a problem, because in the quarterfinals their opponent will be Serbia with a formidable and stable core. In the round of 16 they confidently beat the Czechs, although if the second game had been delayed, the match could have been extended.

Intrigue: will SKA break the losing streak?
Roman Rotenberg’s team started the KHL season with two road wins, but SKA did not end the road streak. The army team lost the last two matches and will now make its first appearance at home in the current championship. The rival is Spartak, who will be full of desire to rehabilitate themselves from the defeat against Almirante (2-6).

Intrigue: Will Spalletti make amends for his failed debut?
Group C qualifying is still fun. The other day Luciano Spalletti played his first match in charge of the Italian team and failed to defeat North Macedonia (1-1). The next game is even more important. Ukraine occupies second place in the group and is three points ahead of Italy. Therefore, the Italians need to play to win, so that qualification for the European Championship does not become a total problem.

⚽️ 21:45: Sweden – Austria, qualification for Euro 2024, matchday 6
Intrigue: will the Swedes return to the fight for qualification for the Euro Cup?
In Group F there was a very clear distribution of teams. The first places are occupied by Austria and Belgium (both teams have 10 points), Sweden is third (6 points). The next match is an opportunity for the Swedes to return to the fight for a ticket to the Euro Cup. If points are lost here, it will be difficult to count on a place in the top 2.
⚽️ 22:00: Germany – France, friendly match
Intrigue: how will Germany play after the coach’s dismissal?
Hansi Flick is no longer in the national team: the coach was fired due to poor results and misunderstandings with the players. In the match against France, the German team will be led by the sporting director of the National Football Federation and national team legend Rudi Völler. They do not count on him long-term and the main candidate for the coaching position, according to the media, is Julian Nagelsmann. But while the former Bayern coach is free, we have the opportunity to look at the German team in its transitional form. He is also a powerful rival: France lost in the World Cup final six months ago.

⚽️ 23:00: Bolivia – Argentina, qualification for the 2026 World Cup, South America, 2nd round
Intrigue: Will Messi save the team again?
Leo led the way in the 1st round match against Ecuador, scoring the only goal of the match from a free kick. It is true that after that Messi was replaced; This has not happened to him in the national team since 2014. Therefore, many had doubts about Leo’s participation in the match against Bolivia. So the intrigue is twofold: will Messi play and, if so, will he carry the ball like he did a few days ago?
