Russian national football team is facing an uneasy encounter against the team of Malta as part of their 2022 FIFA World Cup qualifying match on Wednesday, Head Coach of the Russian national squad Stanislav Cherchesov said on Tuesday.

“All teams, including us, are on the start line and we are all in equal conditions,” Cherchesov said speaking at a news conference earlier in the day. “It is impossible to predict what is going to happen during matches.”

“This is why we focus on real tasks since our first day of the training camp and our first barrier is Malta, which is the only team on our mind today,” the head coach of the Russian national side stated.
