The Sbornaya are undefeated in their last 16 fixtures.
The Russia national football team are all set to host the Nigeria national football team for an international friendly fixture. The interesting match between the two teams will take place at the Luzhniki Stadium.
Being in their current form, the Russia national football team will be feeling confident, and as it will be a home fixture for them, it could make things slightly easier for them. Due to political reasons, they are not allowed to compete in the top-tier tournaments. Hence, they are competing against other countries in friendly fixtures.
