Prediction
Roma were handed a tough group for their return to the Champions League and will look to get their European campaign off to a winning start, especially with group favourites Bayern Munich and Manchester City facing one another on game week 1.
CSKA Moscow were paired with Bayern and City at the same stage of Europe's elite competition last season and will be looking to put on a better showing this time around after coming bottom of their group last term.
However, they are tipped to struggle once more in the Champions League and Roma should have enough about them to get off to a winning start.
