UEFA Champions League Match disscussion:CSKA Moscow vs. Arsenal

Not long after this moment,Arsenal will be facing CSKA Moscow in the capital of Russia,Moscow which means Arsenal are playing away game(which will be bit worry for us because of the weather and the biggest factor,their technical football as well as their soild defence)

Arsenal's game in Russia is not that good.Out of their three games,Arsenal had recorded a draw and two defeats.

Wenger quoted;

"I have always liked Russian football and the technical way they play,” said Wenger. “The last time we played here in Moscow was against Lokomotiv and it was 0-0. We did miss some chances that night but it is very difficult for any team to win away from home in the Champions League, and we have a good percentage, around 35 per cent wins.

We will try very hard to do that here, but it is always very difficult. We know we will be almost through if we win so this is a big game for us. But CSKA Moscow are a tough opponent.

They have a traditional Russian organisation in defence plus a Brazilian flair. I rate Daniel Carvalho and Wagner Love. The mixture seems to work well in their League and in Europe too.

"I spoke with the chairman of Porto after our game and he told me that CSKA Moscow were a good team. They have also beaten Hamburg at home, so it will be an interesting game because when we come away, we try to play.

“The fact that it is cold should not affect us. But CSKA like to play good technical football, so I hope they have taken care of the pitch."


Denilson,an 18-years-old Brazillian were included in the travelling party in Moscow. Ljungberg,Eboue and Baptista will be out in this game because of injury(see here for more information)


My prediction:CSKA Moscow 1 Arsenal 2
