Motor Lublin Arena will host Thursday's Europa League second qualifying round first-leg clash between Dynamo Kyiv and PAOK, with the Ukrainian giants once again playing their European home matches at a neutral venue. Dynamo booked their place in this round after edging past Universitatea Cluj on penalties in a dramatic tie. The Ukrainians have been in strong form lately, winning six of their last ten matches while averaging 2.0 goals per game. They have also created plenty of chances, as reflected by an expected goals average of 2.12. However, defender Vladyslav Dubinchak is a major doubt after picking up a knock against Cluj, potentially weakening Dynamo's back line.
PAOK, meanwhile, will be playing their first competitive match of the new season after an encouraging preseason in which they found the net with remarkable consistency. Summer signing Taha Ali has quickly caught the eye and is expected to make a significant impact in the final third. Although PAOK's competitive results at the end of last season were inconsistent, the Greek side possess plenty of European experience and enough individual quality to trouble any opponent. Still, their recent away record raises concerns, with no wins in their last five competitive matches on the road and just 0.8 goals scored per away game during that stretch.
Dynamo Kyiv have already found their competitive rhythm and arrive in stronger recent form, Home Win should be considered, alongside Both Teams to Score and Over 2.5 goals (both sides possess quality in the final third, making an entertaining first leg a likely outcome).
This Europa League match will be played on Thursday 23 July 2026 at 18:00.
