Champions League/Group B:Bayern Munich and Inter Milan are already through to the next stage but will contest first place when they face off in Munich tonight.

With a two-point advantage over the Italian side, Bayern need only a draw to finish top of the group, while Inter - one of the pre-tournament favourites who made life difficult for themselves by losing their first two matches including the visit of the German champions to San Siro - must win.

Third-placed Sporting Lisbon, who upset Inter 1-0 in Lisbon in their opening group match, will secure a Uefa Cup berth with a home draw against Spartak Moscow.

Three points behind Sporting at the foot of the standings, only victory will suffice for Spartak if they are to avoid last place in the group.

Roma need draw to claim place in knock-out stages

GROUP D:With a six-point lead, Valencia are already confirmed as group winners. However, the other three teams all still have something to play for.

Second-placed AS Roma have seven points and need only draw at home to Valencia to pip Shakhtar Donetsk (five points) to a place in the first knock-out round.

A draw would take Roma on to eight points and although Shakhtar could match that total by beating Olympiakos, the Italian team would advance on the head-to-head rule. Roma can even afford to lose provided Shakhtar do not win.

Fourth-placed Olympiakos must beat Shakhtar to pip them to third place and a place in the last 32 of the Uefa Cup.
