CSKA Moscow vs AS Roma Prediction & Betting tips
In the Champions League, it is in the fourth round of the week. While in some groups practically a preliminary decision has been made, the group G still promises potential for further surprises. The first was certainly the unexpected victory of CSKA Moscow against defending champion Real Madrid, with which the Russians could still keep open all options in the fight for an overwintering in the premier class.
On Wednesday (07.11.2018) the AS Roma will host the next international heavyweight in the Luzhniki Arena. As well as against the Spaniards, the Russians find themselves in the role of the outsider and at first glance, much speaks for a victory of the Italians. However, the Giallorossi could not build on the attractive football of the last season this season, so that for the Russians quite a second surprise seems possible. We therefore decide against the favorites bets and recommend for the match between CSKA Moscow and AS Roma for a safe bet on a draw.
CSKA Moscow:
As runner-up in the Russian Premier League CSKA Moscow was directly qualified for the premier class and got in the draw of the group stage with AS Roma and Real Madrid two really big chunks zugelost. Only Viktoria Pilsen seemed as a feasible opponent in advance. It is all the more surprising that the Russians could already score four points after the third matchday. They missed the opening three of the Czechs even the first three and had to be satisfied with a deserved 2-2 draw. In the subsequent home game against defending champion Real Madrid grew ZSKA but beyond and Nikola Vlašić advanced with his goal in the second minute to 1-0 final score for the hero. It did not matter then that the Spaniards were impressively superior in the episode. ZSKA was allowed to play in AS Roma two weeks ago, but went down 3-0 despite that.
On the other hand, things are not going well in the Russian Premier League, which is due in particular to the predominantly weak performances in the Luzhniki Arena. Because of the previous six home games CSKA could only win two. Of the last three, however, were lost to Lokomotiv Moscow (0-1) and FK Krasnodar (1: 2) after it had previously been enough against Spartak Moscow only to a 1: 1 draw.
AS Rome:
Just like the upcoming opponents, AS Roma qualified third in the last season directly for the Champions League. The Roma should have been satisfied with the draw, because apart from Real Madrid, neither Viktoria Pilsen nor CSKA Moscow should be able to dispute their entry into the knockout phase, at least on paper. So it is not surprising that the team of head coach Eusebio Di Francesco lost their opening game to the Spaniards 0: 3. Then they celebrated at home first a 5-0 victory against the Czechs, before the Russians were also cleared in Italy 3-0. Matchwinner in the latter two games was once again top scorer Edin Dzeko, who scored two goals against the Czechs three and the Russians, thus helping to keep the Italians in first place in group G, at least for now ,
In Serie A, on the other hand, the Roma are threatening to lose the top spot in ninth place. As things stand, not even the Europa League, not to mention the premier class, is currently not even there. The gap to fifth place is already five points, but Juventus Torino is already ahead of the pack with 15 points. According to mau also the latest balance sheet fails. After the derby victory against Lazio Roma (3-1) and relegation candidate Empoli (2-0) was followed by a defeat against SPAL Ferrara (0-2), before last followed two 1-1 draw against SSC Napoli and Fiorentina.
