This could be dramatic. Italian teams didn’t have much luck against Russian teams in the past, but Roma are hoping to change that. But, they’ll have to be very careful as CSKA are a great side.

Roma will try to win crucial points in the “group of death”, nicknamed that because beside CSKA Moscow, Chelsea and Man City are also in this group. Kevin Strootman is injured, which is the main concern in the Roma squad. Totti, Gervinho, Pjanic and De Rossi are fit and should be the key men in the home side.

Same as Roma, the Russian side also has excellent players, from goalkeeper to strikers. They will also seek points in this match, hoping that, in the end of the group stage, they’ll take at least the 3rd place, which would lead them to the Europa League. They are in a fantastic form - currently second in the Russian Premier League.
