Author's Opinion
Russia have only made it past the group stage at the European Championships once - back in 2008, when they reached the semi-final of the tournament - and I don’t see them causing too much damage this summer. Placed in a strong group alongside Belgium and Denmark, I would be surprised if they qualified for the last-16 via the group.
They could, however, make it through as one of the four best-performing third-placed teams, although I wouldn’t fancy their chances of advancing any further against the likes of France, Belgium, the Netherlands or Spain - who would be their opponents if they were to qualify via this method.
