Confederations Cup match-day two for each club is now upon us with the hosts Russia leading off Wednesday’s games.
Group A
Russia looked good but not great against New Zealand in game one. It is more likely they held themselves in third gear for most of their 2-0 win than anything else. They lead the group after Portugal and Mexico drew 2-2 in what was the most exciting of the first round of games. Portugal should beat Russia but it’ll be a great match.
Mexico on the other hand is riding high after falling down a goal to Portugal twice, including giving up a goal in the 86th.
