UEFA Champions League 2018/19: Group analysis after matchday 3

Group G

Group G after the first three rounds

Group G is another in which we have three candidates for the first two places.

Thanks to 1-0 victory against Real Madrid at home and 2-2 draw at Viktoria Plzen, CSKA Moskva is still hot on the heels of Roma and Real Madrid. The schedule of the remaining three games is aiding and abetting them.

Only a victory against Viktoria Plzen at home could be enough for the third place and Round of 32 of the Europa League. However, if they win against Roma at home in the next round, the last game at Real Madrid could shoot them sky high.

To be realistic, there are small chances for such a scenario. The quality is on Roma’s and Real Madrid’s side. Therefore, for the final answer which one will win the first place, in the end, we must wait for the fifth round. On November 27 in Rome, they will play against each other.

Taking tricky form of Real Madrid into consideration, the final order could be the same as it is at this moment.

Roma, Real Madrid, CSKA Moskva, Viktoria Plzen.
