- CSKA Moscow's only win in their last 6 competitive fixtures came in the Champions League, that coming in a 2-1 win at Manchester City earlier this month and they currently sit on 4 points in Group E. A win here will guarantee them a place in at least the Europa League this season.
- Roma sit level on 4 points with the Russian side. Victory here will provide them with a confidence boost ahead of their final group meeting with City next month. However, the Serie A outfit have won just 1 of their last 6 games in all competitions away from home.
