Notes[]

  1. ^ All three home matches of Spartak Moscow are being played on Wednesdays instead of Thursdays to avoid scheduling conflicts with the home matches of Lokomotiv Moscow on the same day, as Lokomotiv Moscow (cup winners) have higher scheduling priority over Spartak Moscow (league runners-up) in the Europa League.
