CYR vs RUS Dream11 Team Prediction Tips for Cyprus vs Russia World Cup Qualifiers Live Score September 4

CYR vs RUS Dream11: GSP Stadium in Nicosia will host the football Saturday’s clash, where Cyprus and Russia will meet ahead of the qualifying match for the FIBA World Cup. Cyprus is one of the weakest teams in Europe at the moment, and to make matters worse, they suffered a convincing 3-0 defeat against Malta, which is considered among the four weakest European teams. Despite that, Cyprus currently has 4 points in the group, where they are still undefeated in the first two home games. On the other hand, Russia had an unsuccessful campaign at EURO 2020, where they went home after the group stage. However, Valeri Karpin’s team took an important point at home against Croatia (0-0), so they should be highly motivated before the trip to Nicosia, where they will do everything to take all the spoils and keep the second position.

Date: September 4, Saturday
Kick-Off: 9:30 PM (IST)
Venue: GSP Stadium, Nicosia City
