Perhaps a welcome break from league football as Tyumen & Zvezda Perm 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 Tyumen nor Zvezda Perm 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.
One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on grass and that the visiting Zvezda Perm have a different surface at their stadium (artifical turf). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on grass is 4-2-5 (win-draw-loss) from eleven matches.
