AS Roma vs CSKA Moscow Prediction & Betting tips
On matchday three of the UEFA Champions League 2018/19 group stage, AS Roma and CSKA Moscow face the two big winners of Matchday 2 in a direct duel. The AS Roma after a 3-0 defeat at Real Madrid at home a 5-0 victory against Viktoria Pilsen at home, so secured CSKA Moscow after the 2-2 draw in the Czech Republic on the first match day a completely surprising 1: 0 Home victory over the defending champion from Spain. Instead of the Blancos, who had last brought three times in a row the Henkel pot in the Spanish capital, therefore lead the Russians currently the table of the group G and would love to defend this supremacy also abroad at the Giallorossi. Although the home team is favored between AS Roma and CSKA Moscow in betting odds, it is by no means possible to write off the Russian runner-up. After all, the Russians won the UEFA Cup in 2005 and were even in the quarter-finals of the Champions League in the 2009/10 season. Conversely, the Roma was just in the past season in the semifinals to find. Against the current league leaders, they now want to keep the chances with the second threesome in the third game, to bring it this time again.
AS Roma:
AS Roma have only been able to win four out of the nine Ligue 1 league games in Serie A this season, which means they will miss the re-qualification for the Champions League. Particularly bitter: on Saturday, the Roma squandered the dress rehearsal for this Champions League home game in form and lost against ten players of SPAL Ferrara at home with 0: 2. No fewer than 18 shots – eight of them on the opponent’s goal – did not want to lead to a goal, which caused the momentum to come to a standstill from four wins in a row with 14 goals scored and only one goal. Nevertheless, Rome has always looked good at home, especially on an international level. Last season they won all three home games in the knockout phase and are thus in five wins from the last six games in the Olympic Stadium. Only against Atlético Madrid there was a draw on the first match of the preseason.
In conjunction with the good record against Russian clubs (three of the four home games against representatives of the Premjer League won Rome) makes that a lot of courage that now in fact after the clear 0-3 defeat against Real Madrid from the first matchday sustainable again Curve gets by following on the edge victory against Viktoria Pilsen the next coup. With Edin Dzeko, AS Roma also has a real miracle weapon in the storm, as the Bosnian is in second place in the top scorers’ list behind Barcelona’s Lionel Messi in three matches from the first two Champions League games. Does the former Wolfsburg also stand out against the Russian runner-up?
CSKA Moscow:
For CSKA Moscow, too, national football has not been very successful so far. After winning the 2016 championship in 2017, it was only the runner-up behind city rivals Spartak Moscow, before this summer, because of just two points back in the end only had to rely on second place. This time behind another city rivals, namely Lokomotiv Moscow. All the more sobering that CSKA Moscow is now in only weak start to the season of these teams behind Zenit St. Petersburg and FK Krasnodar only in third place – with only five wins from the first eleven games. For example, the dress rehearsal on Friday night at Anzhi Makhachkala’s 2-0 away win was successful, but a B-Elf in the Russian Cup suffered a bitter defeat on penalties against Underdog FK Tyumen, who were annoyed in the 120th minute 1-1 equalizer had to accept before from the point not one of the Moscow shooters hit the goal. Wiktar Hantscharenka’s only bright spot is currently the UEFA Champions League, which surprisingly leads Group G after a sensational 1-0 win over Real Madrid. If you want to convert this snapshot into a new move to the round of 16 of the premier class, then CSKA must now build on the 1991/92 season. In the now abolished European Cup Winners’ Cup ZSKA won in the first round namely namely away from the Giallorossi 1-0.
