The Russian hosts earned a solid point away from home in a 2-2 draw with Lille after coming from two goals down. Inter, meanwhile, started terribly with a 1-0 loss at Trabzonspor, and new manager Claudio Ranieri will be keen to build on the weekend victory over Bologna. Despite a 3-1 win, Inter still do not convince at the back, and with four of CSKA’s last five games producing three goals or more, this could be another high scoring encounter.Both clubs have started slowly in their domestic campaigns and find themselves outside the hot spots coming into another Champions League tie. Trabzonspor already have three points after a surprise victory over former champions Inter in the last round, while Lille were held at home by CSKA Moscow. Joe Cole's new club have scored and conceded in nine of their previous 10 games in all competitions. Three of Trabzonspor's last four games have witnessed both teams netting. A potential return of 91 per cent on our investment is there for the taking if this trend continues. Otelul Galati lost out to FC Basel in their first game and should be on the receiving end of a second European defeat. In the league, the Romanians have been poor, picking up just 11 points after eight games, which sees them slumped in mid-table. Benfica are joint leaders of the Superliga and claimed a point at home to Manchester United in their opening game. The Portuguese club showed grit to claim a Friday night 2-2 draw at Porto after trailing twice. A win is vital if the two-time European Champions want to finish second in the group.
