otor Lublin Arena will host the first leg of the Europa League first qualifying round as Dynamo Kyiv and Universitatea Cluj lock horns in an eagerly-awaited encounter. As Dynamo are a more experienced side than Universitatea Cluj, we predict a 2-1 home win. Dynamo enter the tie in high spirits after winning seven of their last ten matches in all competitions, averaging 2.3 goals per game. Summer signing Tomasz Kedziora is widely expected to make his official debut, while top scorer Matvii Ponomarenko will once again lead the attack. Despite keeping only three clean sheets in their last ten outings, Dynamo have created plenty of chances, posting an impressive 2.05 expected goals on average and scoring in eight of those matches.
Universitatea Cluj, on the other hand, have plenty of work to do after disappointing pre-season defeats to both Vojvodina and Nyiregyhaza, conceding three goals in each game. New arrivals Alibek Alieva and Adams Friday are expected to start, but the Romanians have struggled on the road, winning only one of their last five away matches while averaging just 0.8 goals per game.
Given Dynamo's superior quality, stronger form, and Cluj's away struggles, we are tempted to place our bets on Home Win, alongside Dynamo Over 1.5 goals and Over 2.5 goal total (Dynamo average 3.6 total goals per match across their last ten games).
This Europa League match will be played on Thursday 9 July 2026 at 18:00.
