Roma will be hoping to book their place in the last 16 of the Champions League when they travel to CSKA Moscow for their penultimate outing in Group E on Tuesday.
The Serie A side have already beaten the Russians in the reverse fixture, so victory would be enough for them to join group leaders Bayern Munich in the knockout stages, if the German side avoid defeat to Manchester City.
Roma have been in strong domestic form recently, including a 2-1 win over Atalanta at the weekend, but have picked up just the one win in the Champions League group campaign so far this season.
The visitors will be without on-loan Newcastle United defender Mapou Yanga-Mbiwa, as he is sidelined for the next couple of weeks with a thigh injury.
Meanwhile, the hosts will be attempting to make amends for their 5-1 defeat to the Italians in their meeting earlier in the campaign.
The Russians have been struggling in the league in recent weeks, losing to rivals Dinamo Moscow before the international break before suffering a defeat to Krasnador earlier this week.
The home side have reported no fresh injuries over the last week though, and have impressed in the Champions League on their last two outings by taking four points off Man City.
If CSKA win, they will keep their hopes of reaching the last 16 alive, and secure at least a place in the Europa League.
