CSKA Moscow will attempt to become the first...

Trailing 1-0 from the first leg, CSKA will be without inspirational Serbian international Milos Krasic, who is suspended, as they try to match the achievement of Spartak Moscow in the 1990-91 season.

Some 55,000 fans are expected to cheer CSKA on at the Luzhniki stadium.

"I"m sure the fans will become our 12th player," Krasic told the bobsoccer.ru website.

"I"m still hopeful I will play in this Champions League," he added. "The most important thing for us is to open the score."

The match will take place amid heightened security following twin suicide bombings on the Moscow metro on March 29. CSKA"s game against Zenit, scheduled for Saturday at the Luzhniki, was called off over public safety fears.

"We did not ask for the match to be postponed as we were ready to play, but frankly speaking it"s a good thing for us to be able to have couple of extra days off," CSKA defender Vasily Berezutsky was quoted as saying by UEFA.
