Breaking CSKA Moscow v Roma odds from the Champions League, with latest betting and match preview from Russia.

CSKA Moscow host Roma in a vital Champions League clash that will go a long way to determining who qualifies.

Both sides sit on four points and are the two favourites to qualify second to Bayern Munich in Group E.

Moscow produced an amazing performance to stun Manchester City 2-1 at the Etihad in their last Champions League fixture.

Two Seydou Doumbia goals have given them a real chance of upsetting the odds to reach the last 16.

After a 7-1 defeat at home to Bayern, they improved in the away fixture, before ultimately going down 2-0.

Roma thrashed CSKA Moscow 5-1 in the opening group game, with the former Arsenal man Gervinho scoring twice.

The match will also go far to determining if Manchester City have any chance of reaching the last 16.
