Both teams have a full-strength squad to pick from for the opener.（两支球队都有一个强有力的阵容为世界杯开幕战做好准备。）
Russia have selection issues in defence, which result in 38-year-old Sergei Ignashevich playing from the start while Saudi Arabia coach Juan Antonio Pizzi's main dilemma is in attack where he has to choose between Mohammed Al-Sahlawi and Muhannad Assiri.（俄罗斯在防守方面面临着问题，从而导致38岁的伊格纳舍维奇入选首发阵容，而沙特方面他们的主要问题是进攻，主教练皮奇在穆罕默德萨赫拉维和阿里西之间面临选择问题。）
Opta stats 数据统计
Russia and Saudi Arabia's only previous encounter was in October 1993; the Saudis won 4-2 at home in a friendly.（俄罗斯和沙特之前唯一一次交手时1993年10月，当时沙特4：2在主场取得友谊赛的胜利。）
Since the split up of the USSR, Russia have never reached the knockout stages of the World Cup in three appearances (1994, 2002, 2014). They have finished third in their group in each of those three editions.（自从苏联解体以来，俄罗斯从未进入到淘汰赛阶段，在1994.2002和2014年的世界杯上都是排名小组第三。）
France were the last World Cup hosts to win the trophy in 1998. The hosts have always reached the second round of the competition, the only exception coming in 2010 when South Africa were knocked out in the group stages.（法国队是目前为止最后一次获得总冠军的东道主，历史上东道主总能进入到第二阶段的淘汰赛，唯一一次例外是2010年的南非。）
This is Saudi Arabia's fifth World Cup, their first since 2006. They have finished bottom of their group in their last three appearances, their best performance dating back to their opening tournament in 1994 (knocked out by Sweden in the round of 16).（这是沙特的第五次世界杯之旅，也是他们自2006年的首次世界杯，在最近三届世界杯上他们都是排名小组倒数第一，他们的最佳表现可以追溯到1994年，而上一次沙特在世界杯上的胜利也同样要追溯到1994年。）
Saudi Arabia have won none of their last 10 games at the World Cup, losing eight of them (D2). In fact, their last win in the competition dates back to the group stages of the 1994 edition (1-0 v Belgium, 29th June 1994).
Saudi Arabia have kept only one clean sheet in their 13 games at the World Cup - it was in their 1-0 win against Belgium in June 1994. They have also failed to score in seven of their last nine games in the tournament.（在13场的世界杯比赛中，沙特可以说是毫无建树，除了在1994年以1：0击败比利时队。）
Merson's prediction
These are the two struggling teams, but I've just gone for Russia to win this game - but only just - given their home advantage. I always find that with teams at home, that just gives them that little bit more.（两支苦苦挣扎的球队，我认为俄罗斯会赢得比赛只是因为他们是主场。我一直认为主场作战的球队，会多少受到一些照顾。）
PAUL PREDICTS: 1-0
