Hodgson expects Basel to beat CSKA Sofia in Group E.
“I expect Basel to win,” Hodgson said. “That means that whoever loses at the Stadio Olimpico will have a difficult task to progress.
“I think in order for us to go through to the next round, we will need to finish with nine or 10 points.
“We will be wise and be prepared for a difficult game.
“We want to see how far we can go against them.
“I didn’t see a struggling Roma in our opening game. I am sure Roma will finish quite high up in the Serie A table, they have great players. They have plenty of time to change things around.”
