Viktoria Plzen vs CSKA Moscow
Uefa Champions League 2018/19
Venue: Doosan Arena
Kick-off time: 8pm BST
CSKA Moscow know that they realistically need to start Group G with a win against Plzen if they are to stand a chance of reaching the knockout stages.
The Russian giants and Plzen have been drawn against Champions League holders Real Madrid and last year’s semi-finalists AS Roma, with those two teams already confident of progress.
As such, picking up maximum points against Czech title holders Plzen is a must to ensure their hopes of a last-16 spot are not dashed before they have even truly begun.
