• The market expects a one-sided afternoon. Russia is the shortest price on a book of 1.55 / 4.14 / 5.88 (1 / X / 2), an implied 61.1%. Across the three outcomes the book reads 61.1% / 22.9% / 16.1% on an overround of 5.7%.

• Money has come for Russia to win: the price has shortened from 1.80 to 1.58, a move of 13.9%. Steam like that on the day of the game usually reflects team news the wider market has not caught up with yet.

• Under 2.5 goals has drifted from 1.76 to 1.89 (6.9%). Layers are happy to take that side on, which is worth respecting.

• The read: Russia at 1.55 is short enough that the value, if there is any, sits on the handicap or in the goals market rather than the outright. The late money is pointing the same way.
