RFS
After holding Galatasaray to a draw in Istanbul, Dynamo Kyiv will look to record their first win of the process when they face RFS in the Europa League round 8. The Ukrainians are eager to give fans some cheer and they are likely to go all guns blazing at the Latvian outfit. Experienced forward Andriy Yarmolenko should be recalled to the starting XI after scoring a brace as a substitute against Galatasaray, while both Volodymyr Brazhko and Denys Popov miss out with injuries.
RFS, on the other hand, did well to shock Ajax in round 7, but that will not help them book their spot in the knockout stages. As the Latvians are not regarded as good travellers, we are tempted to bet on Dynamo Kyiv, who produced a fine display in the last Europa League game. Both Ismael Diomande and Martins Kigurs are sidelined with injuries for the visiting side.
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.
