Motivation is not in short supply for Dynamo Kyiv, and having secured a crucial win on the road in the first leg, the Ukrainian side know what they have to do to secure Champions League football for the first time in five years.

Gent, same as the hosts, are targeting a return to Europe’s elite competition for the first time in a long while, but a home defeat in the first-leg of this encounter has only made their task even more difficult.

Nevertheless, the Belgians will be hopeful of getting something out of this, and we are set for an eventful affair between two sides looking to prove they are capable of competing among Europe’s top guns.

Dynamo Kyiv vs Gent Team News

The first-leg encounter between these two sides, which took place just under one week ago, at the KAA Gent Stadium, ended 1-2 in favour of the visiting side.

Dynamo took an early lead via a Vladyslav Supriaga strike early in the first half, but a goal from Tim Kleindienst, late in the second half, put the hosts right back into it.

The match looked set to end in a draw, however, Kyiv midfielder, Carlos De Pena had other ideas, and his strike, deep into the second half, ensured the Ukrainian side walked away with a vital win on the night.

Kyiv are currently on a four-match winning run across all competitions, and have failed to record a win just once in their eight outings. Lucescu’s men have also done this in style, scoring twice or more in all, but one of the fixtures comprising their amazing run of form.

Furthermore, Kyiv are experts at head-to-head clashes, with their 100% winning record in such encounters in recent years speaking for itself.
Gent, in contrast to the hosts, are currently experiencing a rough patch, and would have to dig really deep to salvage anything from this tie.

The Belgian side have won only two of the last six matches played in all competitions, and they also sit just three points above the relegation zone in the Jupiler league, having picked a meagre six points from seven league matches this season.

Wim De Decker’s side did see off the challenge of Swiss side, Rapid Vienna – during their poor run of form – to get to this stage, and they’ll certainly seek inspiration from that result, to qualify for the real deal.

Injured or Suspended Players

Dynamo Kyiv: Mykyta Burda, Oleksandr Tymchyk and Artem Besedin.

Gent: Giorgio Chakvetadze and Roman Bezus.
