MOSCOW, December 19 (RIA Novosti) - Zenit St. Petersburg and CSKA Moscow, Russia's two remaining representatives in the UEFA Cup, are to play Germany's Stuggart and England's Aston Villa, respectively, in the first knockout round.
The draw was made in Nyon, Switzerland on Friday.
Zenit, the current holders, dropped down to the UEFA Cup after finishing third behind Juventus and Real Madrid in their Champions League group.
CSKA, who lifted the trophy in 2005, becoming the first Russian club side to win a major European tournament in the process, won all four games in their group, the only side to do so. Vagner Love, the club's Brazilian striker, is the 2008/09 UEFA Cup's leading scorer with six goals in the group stages.
Matches in the two-legged ties will be played on February 18-19 and February 26.
