Ufa and Dinamo Moskva have both delivered a "par" performance so far, to use a golfing expression. Both hold mid-table positions in the Premier League.
There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.

Ufa are staying put; they can neither be promoted or relegated this season and are fighting only for positions. Dinamo are still fighting for the big positions at the top of the table.
