Algeria’s coach Vahid Halilhodzic could name the same starting XI that beat South Korea.
Islam Slimani should lead the line once again, with Tottenham’s Nabil Bentaleb in midfield.
Russia coach Fabio Capello is under pressure to replace the misfiring Alexander Kokorin with Aleksandr Kerzhakov up front.
Alan Dzagoev may also win a recall in midfield but right-back Aleksei Kozlov is an injury doubt.
