Match preview from BBC Sport

Summer signings Nat Wedderburn, Dani Lopez and Jordan Roberts could make their Inverness debuts against Astra.
The Highlanders take their first European steps in the second round of qualifying for the Europa League after their Scottish Cup success.
Manager John Hughes said his squad had "one or two knocks".
Defenders Josh Meekings and Carl Tremarco and midfielders Danny Williams and Aaron Doran all missed Caley Thistle's latest friendly.
Goalkeeper Dean Brill remains out with a long-term knee injury, but versatile captain Richie Foran has returned to training and is hopeful of a place on the bench.
"It's historic for us," said Hughes. "It's a massive game and hopefully we can go and perform.
"I've just got a feeling that our style of play might suit Europe."
Astra are a much changed side from the one that faced Celtic in the group stages last season, with 11 new players recruited over the summer.

The team that finished fourth in Romanian Liga 1 drew with the Scottish champions at home and lost 2-1 in Glasgow.
"They're a good side and we respect them, but we are capable of beating them," added Hughes.
"Away from home, they like to counter-attack, so we need to make sure our team shape is spot on.
"They've got a few Brazilians, a few Portuguese, and those guys are technically very good.
"If we can keep a clean sheet and nick a goal then we are right in the tie."
Inverness have lost captain Graeme Shinnie as well as Marley Watkins, Edward Ofere and Nick Ross over the summer, but Hughes has faith in a largely settled, if small, squad.
"I believe in my guys and I trust them," he explained.
"I'm hoping we can dominate the football and take the game to them, but we have to keep that back door shut.
"The most important thing is to keep a clean sheet.


"In terms of character and spirit, that won't be a problem for us. No chance. It might take us 10 minutes to settle, so we just need to be cagey."
Marius Șumudica is looking forward to making his European debut as Astra head coach, the former Cluj boss who played for Maritimo and Rapid Bucharest having switched from Romanian top-flight rivals Concordia Chiajna.
"They have a style that can pose problems," the 44-year-old said of Caley Thistle. "But I think that we will be able to distinguish ourselves in this double header.
"Chances are even and the balance will tip in favour of the team who works harder to showcase their qualities and I know I have quality players."
Sumudica has brought with him five players from his former club, who finished 12th in the Romanian top flight last season.
However, the summer signing best known to British fans is Filipe Teixeira, the 34-year-old midfielder who had spells with West Bromwich Albion and Barnsley and has arrived from Petrolul Ploiesti.
Also switching from Astra's Liga 1 rivals is Brazilian 34-year-old former Benfica, AEK Athens and Steau Bucharest central defender Geraldo Alves, while former Cluj goalkeeper Ionut Bosneag has been signed from Academica.
