PFC CSKA Moskva will need to improve their home form as SL Benfica come to Russia on the penultimate day of action in Group A. • CSKA were 2-1 winners away to Benfica on matchday one and are level with FC Basel 1893 on six points – six above their Portuguese opponents and six behind section leaders Manchester United FC. • The Russian side will be out if they lose and Basel beat Manchester United, due to an inferior head-to-head with the Swiss outfit. • Benfica must win and hope Basel lose to stay in contention for a top-two place. If they fail to win they will be confirmed in fourth. Previous meetings • The teams were paired in the 2004/05 UEFA Cup round of 32, CSKA winning 3-1 on aggregate and going on to lift the trophy with victory against Sporting Clube de Portugal in the Lisbon final. • CSKA were 2-0 first-leg victors in a game played in Krasnodar, thanks to goals from Vasili Berezutski (12) and Vágner Love (60). Sergei Ignashevich put CSKA in complete command with a 49th-minute goal in Lisbon, although substitute Azar Karadas ensured Benfica avoided defeat on the night. • The line-ups at the Kuban Stadium on 17 February 2005 were: CSKA: Akinfeev, Ignashveich, A Berezutski, V Berezutski, Rahimić, Odiah, Aldonin, Daniel Carvalho, Krasić (Laizāns 81), Gusev (Shershun 79), Vágner Love (Samondin 90+2). Benfica: Quim, Luisão, Petit, Geovanni (Mantorras 73), Alcides, Manuel Dos Santos, Nuno Assis (Karadas 59), Manuel Fernandes, João Pereira, Simão, Nuno Gomes (Bruno Aguiar). • That remains Benfica's only two-legged defeat against Russian opposition in UEFA competition – they have won all five of the other ties, most recently against FC Zenit two years ago. They have lost four of their five group meetings with Russian sides though. Match background CSKA Moskva • CSKA have lost both home games in Group A, going down 4-1 at home to Manchester United on matchday two and 2-0 against Basel in the third round of fixtures. • CSKA won their first five European fixtures this term, the first four without conceding a goal, including triumphing 2-1 at Benfica on matchday one; however, the Manchester United result was their heaviest home defeat in European competition. • Their 2-0 first-leg victory at AEK Athens FC in the third qualifying round ended CSKA's run of ten European matches without a win (D4 L6). • The victory at Benfica was their first in the UEFA Champions League group stage since a 3-2 home win against PSV Eindhoven on 30 September 2015; subsequently their record had been D4 L6. • Victories against AEK (1-0) and BSC Young Boys (2-0) in this season's qualifying rounds are CSKA's only successes in their last nine home European matches (D3 L4). They have won all four away games this season. • CSKA have lost all three games against Portuguese visitors in Moscow, and have yet to score in those matches. Their only home wins against a club from that country were a 3-1 win against Sporting CP in the 2015/16 UEFA Champions League play-offs and that 2005 triumph over Benfica in Krasnodar. • CSKA claimed their sole European trophy in Portugal against a Portuguese side, however, beating Sporting CP 3-1 in the 2005 UEFA Cup final in Lisbon. • The Russian club's overall record against teams from the Portuguese Liga is W4 D3 L5. • Russian Premier League runners-up in 2016/17, CSKA are in the group stage for an 11th time, and fifth straight season. • CSKA have come bottom of their group in their last four UEFA Champions League campaigns. In 2016/17, having qualified automatically for the group phase, they finished behind AS Monaco FC, Bayer 04 Leverkusen and Tottenham Hotspur FC in their section. Benfica • Benfica have lost all four games in Group A and have been defeated in their last five European fixtures stretching back to last season – the worst run in their history.

5 PFC CSKA Moskva - SL Benfica Wednesday 22 November 2017 - 18.00CET (20.00 local time) Match press kit CSKA Arena, Moscow • The Eagles suffered their biggest UEFA Champions League defeat on matchday two, going down 5-0 at Basel. Their other away game was a 2-0 loss at Manchester United last time out. • Five successive European defeats equals the worst sequence by a Portuguese team set by FC Paços de Ferreira between 2009 and 2013. • Benfica have won only three of their last 15 away fixtures in Europe, losing eight. They picked up four points on their travels in last season's group stage. • Benfica have won only one of their last eight European matches, home and away – the 1-0 victory against Borussia Dortmund in last season's round of 16 first leg. • Matchday three marked the first time Benfica have lost four successive European games; they had suffered three straight defeats on four previous occasions. • Prior to matchday one, the Portuguese side's last encounter with Russian opposition came in the 2015/16 round of 16, when they overcame Zenit 1-0 home and 2-1 away. • Benfica have lost on four of their last five visits to Russia, where their record is W2 D2 L4. • Portuguese double winners in 2016/17, Benfica are in the UEFA Champions League group stage for the 13th time – and the eighth season running. The Lisbon outfit got to the quarter-finals in 2015/16 and again progressed from the group stage last year, losing to Dortmund in the round of 16. Coach and player links • Viktor Goncharenko was in charge of FC BATE Borisov when they faced Benfica in the 2009/10 UEFA Europa League group stage, losing 2-0 away and 2-1 at home. • Jonas scored in Valencia CF's 4-2 group stage win against Goncharenko's BATE on 7 November 2012. • was a second-half substitute and Pizzi an unused replacement as Portugal beat hosts Russia 1-0 at the FIFA Confederations Cup in Moscow on 21 June. Igor Akinfeev, Viktor Vasin and Aleksandr Golovin were in Russia's line- up. • Jonas and Mário Fernandes were team-mates at Grêmio FBPA from 2009 to 2011. • Alan Dzagoev scored past Júlio César when CSKA crashed 3-2 at home to FC Internazionale Milano in the 2011/12 UEFA Champions League group stage. • Diogo Gonçalves scored past Pavel Ovchinnikov when Benfica won 2-0 at CSKA in last season's UEFA Youth League quarter-finals. Match facts CSKA Moskva • Pontus Wernbloom, Aleksandr Golovin and Bibras Natcho are all a booking away from a ban. • CSKA have won only three of their last 11 matches in all competitions, though one of those was the 2-1 victory at FC Basel 1893 on matchday four. • CSKA were without a win in the Russian Premier League in three matches before Saturday's 4-2 victory at SKA- Energiya Khabarovsk. • The 2-2 draw at FC Lokomotiv Moskva on 5 November was Igor Akinfeev's 383rd league game for CSKA Moskva – a club record. • Akinfeev has not kept a clean sheet in 43 outings in the UEFA Champions League proper, since a goalless draw at Arsenal FC on 1 November 2006. Benfica • André Almeida and Luisão are available following suspension; is a booking away from a ban. • Jonas has scored in nine consecutive Liga games, a feat not managed by a Benfica player since Eusébio 52 years ago. • Jonas has scored 13 league goals in 11 matches this season, four more than any other player in the Portuguese Liga, and needs one more to bring up a century as a Benfica player. • Haris Seferović played in both legs of the play-off against Northern Ireland, helping Switzerland reach the World Cup finals 1-0 on aggregate. • Raúl Jiménez scored the only goal as Mexico beat Poland in a friendly on 13 November. • suffered a thigh injury during Greece's 4-1 play-off first leg defeat in Croatia which ruled him out of the return, but he did start Saturday's 2-0 Portuguese Cup last-32 defeat of Vitória FC.

9 PFC CSKA Moskva - SL Benfica Wednesday 22 November 2017 - 18.00CET (20.00 local time) Match press kit CSKA Arena, Moscow Head coach Viktor Goncharenko Date of birth: 10 June 1977 Nationality: Belarusian Playing career: FC RUOR Minsk, FC BATE Borisov Coaching career: FC BATE Borisov, FC Kuban Krasnodar, FC Ural Sverdlovsk Oblast, PFC CSKA Moskva (assistant), FC Ufa, PFC CSKA Moskva • His career as a BATE defender ended at 25 because of ruptured left knee ligaments, Goncharenko immediately switched to coaching, taking over the club's reserves and guiding them to second-placed finishes in 2005 and 2006 before graduating to become assistant to head coach Igor Kriushenko. • In 2007 he replaced Kriushenko on a temporary basis when the latter developed health problems and guided BATE to five wins in his six matches in charge. When Kriushenko departed for FC Dinamo Minsk in November 2007, Goncharenko got his big break with the newly-crowned champions; won the first of five successive league titles with BATE in 2008, and took them into the UEFA Champions League group stage in 2008/09, drawing twice with Juventus. • Added a domestic double in 2010 and Goncharenko – who lifted the 1999 and 2002 titles as a player – was also feted as his nation's coach of the year for three years in a row between 2008 and 2010. • Twice reached the UEFA Europa League group stage, going on to the round of 32 in 2010/11. Added another league title in 2011 and took BATE into the UEFA Champions League group stage for second time, achieving another notable draw against AC Milan. BATE returned to the group stage for the third time in five seasons in 2012/13, beating LOSC Lille and eventual winners FC Bayern München. • Won the 2012 Belarusian title but elected to take charge of Russian side Kuban in October 2013, saying: "Six years of coaching in one place is a long time. Now's it time to part ways." Lasted a year at Kuban and then six games with Ural in 2015. Won the Russian title as CSKA assistant coach under Leonid Slutski and returned to the Moscow side as head coach in December 2016 after six months at Ufa. Rui Vitória Date of birth: 16 April 1970 Nationality: Portuguese Playing career: Fanhões, UD Vilafranquense, Seixal Clube 1925, Casa Pia AC, GD Alcochetense Coaching career: UD Vilafranquense, SL Benfica (Under-19), CD Fátima, FC Paços de Ferreira, Vitória SC, SL Benfica • Born in Alverca do Ribatejo, in the Lisbon district, Rui Vitória spent the majority of his playing career as a midfielder with clubs from the Portuguese capital's metropolitan area. • Always plied his trade in the lower divisions and was a mainstay at Vilafranquense for nine seasons. After hanging up his boots at 32 in the middle of 2002/03, he began his coaching career immediately at the club, while simultaneously working as a PE teacher. • His first association with Benfica came two seasons later, as he led the Eagles' Under-19 setup for two years, a period which began his steady rise in Portuguese football. The first step was taken at Fátima in 2006, where his debut season was marked by promotion to the second division followed by immediate relegation, a journey repeated in the next two campaigns. • His good work led him to Paços de Ferreira in the top division. The first season ended with a seventh-place finish in the Liga and defeat by Benfica in the 2010/11 League Cup final. Departed three games into the following season but only took a week to find a new employer, in the shape of Guimarães. • In four seasons at the helm of the Minho outfit, he made his name by building competitive sides with few resources, as well as detecting and developing young talents. His highlight was victory over Benfica in the 2012/13 Portuguese Cup final, only the second trophy in the club's history. On 15 June 2015, he was announced as Benfica's new coach on a three-year contract, and won the Liga and League Cup in his first season and the league and Portuguese Cup double in 2016/17.
