mid-week match-ups in Russia could have a big impact

Two very important match-ups could decide the UEFA Cup selections in the Russia today. Playing catchup with the schedule, relegation condemned Shinnik Yaroslav visit Lokomotiv Moscow while Saturn Moscow Oblast comes to Petrovski to face Zenit St Petersburg. Both Lokomotiv and Zenit are heavily favoured but after each played to a draw their European efforts are in jeopardy.

I will report on the matches as they conclude as well as update the table.
