Russian-French Ties in Other Top Games
Last season’s runners-up, Brest Bretagne will start their new campaign in the home of Rostov-Don. bet365.
A more balanced game is expected in another Russian-French tie between Metz and CSKA Moscow. The French team got to the quarter-final last season where they were knocked out by Brest. While CSKA got to the last four in their debut season, but their ambitions are even higher this time. They signed Slovenian Ana Gros, the top goal scorer of last season’s tournament from Brest. She can definitely help the team to win their first game now, with the odds of 2.35 to do so. But the home team, Metz is still favored for the win with the odds of 1.55 in spite of losing 10 players during the summer.
