1) Russia U21 3+ vs AOR
If you thought finding stats for international teams was hard, finding them for U21 teams is nearly impossible.  What I see is that Russia hasn't scored more than 2 goals since a 6-0 trashing of Moldava.  On November 10th 2011, they beat this Albania team 1-0.  11 days ago they lost to Portugal 1-0.  Albania lost to Portugal 3-1 just 6 days ago, and drew Portugal 2-2 on November 14th.  I'll take Albania to hang in there, as they haven't lost by more than 2 since Poland in September 2011.

2) Czech Republic vs Greece or draw
Greece salvaged what nearly was an opening game loss against Poland, but came out with a draw, and possibly should have deserved a win.  I like this Greek team a lot.  The Czech Republic imploded against Russian allowing 2 goals in the last 10 minutes of the game.  While I think Czech Republic is the better team, the Greek defense is very strong.  They didn't allow a goal the entire time they were down to ten men, and having already drawn Poland, they will have confidence in this one.  I'll take the Greeks.


3) Russian guys vs Lewandowski or tie 1st Half
In Russia's 4-1 blowout of the Czech Republic, Dzagoev scored twice in addition to Shirokov and Pavylechecko (or something like that).  Thus, 2 goals were scored by the Russian guys listed.  Dzagoev's first goal was off a shot off the post.  Lewandowski scored Poland's only goal in the game against Greece.  Lewandowski scored 22 goals in 34 games for Borussia Dortmund.   I'll take the tie option because a Russian goal in the first half is not guaranteed, and its certainly possible Lewandowski scores. 

4) Russian goal in the 2nd half?
This partially depends on the first half score, especially if Russia is down.  I certainly expect Russia score sometime this game, so if they haven't scored by halftime, I'll definitely take yes.  Poland's defense was very suspect against Greece, and Russia has a much better offense so Yes is probably the pick.
