This could be an easy victory for us if we play with our highest level. Otherwise, it could be tricky. CSKV knows how to challenge big teams. This game will also be tested for our youngsters like Ceballos, Nacho and Vazquez and this can be game, our player can boost their confidence level up. Team spirit among youngsters is in top and everyone will push their best effort toward the game.

The home league is not going well for both teams. Madrid missed chances to be the top in table twice, losing to Sevilla and drawing again Bilbao and Atletico. While 13th-time Russian league champions are down in fourth place, six points behind their rival Petersburg. But this is UCL and everyone knows, we like to make an impression in UCL and in opening game we beat Roma in style. We produce an impressive all-around display in that game and we netted 3 awesome goals. We need just to play like that and we will be better day by day.

Some problem of injuries will hit both teams, especially it will affect more to CSKV. CSKV have to play without some of their first-team players like Bistrovic, Vasin, Makrov and Kuchaev. While we will be without Isco, Marcelo and Bale, who are all injured and as well as Ramos, who has been rested. We played 2 times against them till now in UCL, drawing one(1-1) and winning another(4-1). I am sure this time we will beat them in their own soil.

My predictive line-up for today's game:-

In goal- Navas

In defence- Nacho, Vallejo, Varane and Carvajal

In midfield- Kroos, Casemiro and Modric

In front- Asensio, Benzema, Vazquez

Odriozola, Ceballos and Vincious can make a Sub. later.
