It has been a downward spiral for CSKA Moscow since their shock win at home to Real Madrid; they have suffered back to back losses to Roma, which has left their hopes in disarray but with the leading two sides in the group set to face off, the Russians have a chance to close the gap to within two points, before their final match, away to Real Madrid in Spain. Plzen have picked three straight losses in the group and the draw with CSKA Moscow on Match Day One remains their only point for the campaign. Already, they can’t advance to the second round but they can fight for a place in the Europa League, though that will also prove tough, given it will be against Roma. CSKA Moscow’s last Champions League match ended in a 2 – 1 loss to AS Roma but after that they have picked two comfortable wins domestically and they will hope to extend that here. CSKA have four wins and four losses in the last 10 Champions League games at home. Their last three losses have been against much stronger sides – Roma, Basel and Manchester United – and Plzen can’t much to these sides’ strength but CSKA will definitely remember losing to Viktoria Plzen in 2013. Viktoria Plzen have not managed a win in the Champions League in 11 matches and have just two wins in their last 18 matches in the competition. The two sides have met four times and each has won one. Three of the four meetings have yielded over 2.5 goals.
