Group G - CSKA Moscow, Viktoria Plzen, Real Madrid, AS Roma
Viktoria Plzen vs CSKA Moscow
Doosan Arena will host the game between Viktoria Plzen and CSKA Moscow. Viktoria are on a 7 game winless run in the competition, but looking at the fact that CSKA are no longer as sharp as they used to be in the past few years, we believe that the hosts are capable of grabbing something from their opener.
The Czechs are likely to rely on their solid defence and the fact that CSKA are not regarded as good travelers, a low-scoring match is on the books.
Prediction: 0-0
Real Madrid vs AS Roma
Real Madrid and Roma face each other at Estadio Santiago Bernabeu. Los Blancos did well to win their third consecutive title in the UCL last term, but as always their fans are hungry for more success.
CR7 left the club for greener pastures, but seeing that new coach Julen Lopetegui has found his feet at the club, we predict that the hosts are going to emerge triumphant in Wednesday’s football match. The Romans have always been tough to beat at home, but their record on the road is anything but good.
Prediction: 3-1
