Prediction: 2-2
Salzburg
Arena Lublin will host Wednesday’s Champions League qualifier between Dynamo Kyiv and Salzburg. The Ukrainians proved their worth in the double-header with Karpaty Lviv, but they will have a much bigger fish to fry against Salzburg. Mykola Sharapenko, who played an important role in the Ukraine national team at EURO 2024, returns to the starting XI after he was rested in a 3-1 win over Karpaty. Experienced forward Andriy Yarmolenko is pushing for a start as well.
The Red Bulls, on the other hand, set up a meeting with Dynamo Kyiv by beating Eredivisie side Twente in the double-header. As the Austrian champions have already netted five goals in the Champions League qualifiers this term, we are tempted to place our bets on both teams to score. Midfielder Lucas Gourna-Douath is only one yellow card away from suspension, while forward Fernando is out of contention with injury.
Highlighted Team (Dynamo Kyiv):
The most successful football club in Ukraine, Dynamo Kyiv has not been relegated to a lower division since its inception in 1927. First founded as a part of the Soviet Dynamo Sports Society, Dynamo Kyiv became a member of the Ukrainian Premier League after the dissolution of the Soviet Union.
Over the course of its rich history, Dynamo Kyiv has won the total of 28 national titles, 13 of which came during the Soviet era. In addition, Dynamo Kyiv won 20 national cup competitions, while it also grabbed 3 major continental trophies, including two UEFA Cup Winners’ Cups. Oleh Blokhin remains to this date the most successful player of the Ukrainian giants with his 266 goals scored for the Kyiv club.
However, current Ukraine national team head coach Andriy Shevchenko is arguably the most recognisable player in Dynamo Kyiv history. Former Milan and Chelsea star scored the total of 124 goal during his two stints with the Ukrainian club.
