With both teams having already qualified for the last-16, Monday's match will decide the group winners.

A draw will ensure Russia will finish as group winners due to their superior goal difference.

After Russia, the lowest ranked team at the tournament, surpassed expectations by winning both of their games so far, pressure has been mounting on Cherchesov's men to keep up the winning run.

Cherchesov, however, expects his players will be up to the task.

They keep asking me about pressure but this is a medical term, Cherchesov told reporters.

We are professional players who are preparing for our game.

This is the World Cup and the team must be in the optimum condition. We are a team and we must do our job."
