Match Time & Date:

Prediction: 2-2
Maccabi Tel Aviv
A spot in the Europa League group stages will be at stake when Dynamo Kyiv and Maccabi Tel Aviv face each other at Motor Lublin Arena on Thursday evening. The Ukrainians experienced all sorts of problems at the back in a 3-1 loss to Maccabi in the first leg, but they should not be written off just yet. Defender Kostyantyn Vivcharenko is banned for the decider following his sending-off in the first leg, while there are no fresh injury worries in the home team.
The Israelis, on the other hand, are on a four-game winning run in all competitions. As Thursday’s match will be played on the neutral location, we are not tempted to place our bets on Dynamo Kyiv. A close encounter is on the cards and, taking everything into account, Maccabi Tel Aviv should not find it hard to book their spot in the Europa League group stages. Summer signing Kristijan Belic is widely expected to keep his place in the Maccabi starting XI.
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.
