Defending champions Zenit and CSKA Moscow face tricky ties in the first knockout stage of the UEFA Cup. They will try their strength against Stuttgart and Aston Villa respectively in the last 32 of the competition.
Zenit dropped down from the Champions League to enter this stage of the tournament, and on Friday the St Petersburg side played to a draw against German Stuttgart who finished runners-up in their group.
Meanwhile, CSKA Moscow, who topped their table, knows it'll be a tough task against Birmingham’s Aston Villa who are currently riding high in the English Premiership.
The first ties will be played on either the 18th and 19th of February with the return legs on February 26.
