Perhaps a welcome break from league football as Legion Dynamo & Ufa face off to decide who makes it to next stage of the Russian Cup. All the pre-match information is available here!
It's no vacation for neither Legion Dynamo nor Ufa as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.
These teams have little in common geographically as Ufa have to travel 2100 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.
