The Golden Eagles of Russia have lit up the World Cup and unified their country behind the team in a way very few people would have predicted.
With their shock 5-0 win over Saudia Arabia on the opening night to their impressive 3-1 triumph over Egypt, with Mohamed Salah, the Russian team have been strong all over the pitch.
Now they come up against the pragmatic, some might say prosaic, Uruguay line-up who have grinded their way to 1-0 victories in both their opening fixtures.
Both sides have already reached the knockout stages but there is still plenty to play for as they will be hoping to avoid a meeting with one of the favourites – Spain – in the round of 16.
Here’s our video wrap of all the stats before the game at 18:00 (UAE Time) on Monday in Samara.
