Shinnik Yaroslav @ Dynamo Moscow match preview

By: j | September 19th, 2008

I’ll be watching this match closely as I know Shinnik Yaroslav will be pressing hard for points and to climb out of the relegation zone. This match is is intriguing match as while you would assume Dynamo will handle Shinnik easily, the relegation threatened club has the ability to surprise, as they did against Zenit Saint Petersburg and therefore Dynamo must take this match seriously.
