CSKA Moscow will be without Keisuke Honda as they face Vladikavkaz, while Zenit St. Petersburg will have to get a result at Terek Grozny if they are to keep alive their hopes of retaining their title.
Zenit has capable players to retain the title. I believe they would at the end of the day. They just have to persist.
Honda is a very good footballer and he would definately be missed in the game but they just have to forget him and move on.
