BORDEAUX welcome Group A surprise package CFR Cluj with hopes of chalking up their first points of the campaign, having conceded seven goals against Chelsea and AS Roma.

However Laurent Blanc's side have been having a better time in Ligue 1, where they are unbeaten in their last five games.

Romanian outfit Cluj are also on a five-game unbeaten run in their domestic league and already have an historic away win against Roma - in their first ever Champions League appearance - under their belts.

This, along with their home draw with Chelsea, gives Mario Trombetta's side an edge of confidence going into this game.

Inter Milan coach Jose Mourinho yesterday admitted his team must beat Anorthosis Famagusta in Group B or they will have problems qualifying for the knockout rounds.

Following a 4-0 defeat of AS Roma on Sunday the Serie A leaders will be strong favourites despite the Cypriot side's encouraging showing in their opening two games, a draw away to Werder Bremen and home victory over Panathinaikos.

The Greek side host Werder in a match Panathinaikos must win if they are to harbour any hopes of progressing past the group stages.

Shakhtar Donetsk's defeat against Barcelona on match day two left them level with Sporting Lisbon on three points after two games in Group C.

With the Spanish side facing back-to-back outings against winless FC Basel tonight and in two week's time, the battle for second place in the group appears to be between Shakhtar and Sporting and hinges heavily on tonight's game in the Ukraine.

Barcelona come into their game after an away win in La Liga at Athletic Bilbao and should have few problems in Switzerland.

With Atletico Madrid and Liverpool having already gained six points, PSV Eindhoven's two Group D matches against Marseille over the next fortnight may merely determine Uefa Cup qualification.

Marseille unbeaten in the French league, travel to PSV Stadion while Eindhoven bring only indifferent domestic form into the game.
