After putting sticks in their wheels, Dynamo Kiev missed the victory at Ferencvaros in the Champions League. On the one hand, this did not affect the situation in the group much, and even after a draw in Hungary, the vice-champion of Ukraine remained the main contender for third place. But the bell remains alarming, and the experienced Mircea Lucescu should work on the bugs a bit.
The angry Dynamo, being nominally invited, will host Dnipro-1. After the change of mentor, Dnipro will fight in almost every round (with the exception of the loss of Alexandria), which means that Lucescu players will not be able to play mid-leg. The Shakhtar allowed them to part ways and the Kievists are unlikely to want to lose everything quickly.

Figures and facts
- After seven rounds, “Dynamo” topped the standings alone. With the arrival of Mircea Lucescu, the capital team did not lose in the championship, having achieved five victories and drawn twice. The runners-up scored 15 goals (one more for Shakhtar) and conceded fewer goals this season (3)
- “Dnepr-1” has reserved the tenth line for now. After a terrible start, Dnipro achieved two victories in a row, thanks to which they improved their position. Goal Difference – 11:13
- The teams managed to play three games against each other – they met twice last season in the Premier League, once in 2018 as part of the cup. Kievans won twice (4: 1, 2: 0), a victory on account of “Dnipro-1” (3: 1)
- It is symbolic that since the last game both teams have changed coaches. Mikhailichenko gave way to the experienced Mircea Lucescu, and Mikhailenko resigned after the start of the season. Igor Jovichevich was called in to replace him
- At the moment, only one player from two teams has scored more than two goals: Viktor Tsygankov (3). Scored twice: Supryaga, Verbic, Hoblenko, Nazarenko and Dovbik
- Initially, the eighth round match was supposed to take place in Dnipro, but Igor Jovichevich’s team gave the go-ahead to play the match in Kiev. Thus, they went to meet the “Dynamo”, which plays on two fronts. The second round match will already be played in the field of “Dnipro-1”
- VAR will work in the match, but only in offline mode
- The briefing, like all other games on the tour, will take place without spectators.
The emotional component of the match
Saturday’s game will be very important for Vladislav Supryaga. After a draw with Ferencváros, no one was more criticized than the young Ukrainian forward, who has not scored in six straight games.
He will have the opportunity to change the mood of the masses in the game against his native team, Dnipro-1. The Odessa native is a product of the Dnipro soccer academy, and it was from this team that the Dynamo caught the eye. According to various sources, the capital club allocated at least six million euros for the forward.
Fans did not forget the last battle between Dynamo and Dnipro-1. Vladislav at that time defended the colors of his home club on loan and, unlike Buletsa, was allowed to participate in the game. The forward came in as a substitute in the middle of the game and scored a hat-trick. After that, Vladislav became the main attack force of Mikhailenko’s team, and in the summer he deservedly went to Mircea Lucescu.
Latest news and lineups
“Dnepr-1”:
Three straight games in the championship without a loss, in two of which were confident victories, such are the recent results of future match hosts. Already now we can say that with the arrival of a new navigator, “Dnepr-1” caught a favorable wind and took a good speed. Igor Jovichevich, or as he is now called, Aramis, restarted the team, found the right motivation and changed the game scheme. In short, your invitation so far is justified.

– SC Dnipro-1 (@ clubdnipro1) October 30, 2020
Due to the lease, Buletsa and Dubinchak will only be able to watch football from the stands on Saturday. This caused discontent with the Croatian coach, who expressed in … Also, you shouldn’t wait from Hoblenko’s first minutes. The forward has almost fully recovered from the injury, but Jovicevic is not going to risk it.
Indicative composition: Sarnavsky – Taylor, Douglas, Loginov, Tsurikov – Ignatenko, Pikhalenok – Nazarenko, Kogut, Chichikov – Dovbik
“Dynamo”:
Accumulated tiredness can be called one of the reasons for the Hungarian draw. Since the beginning of the season, Mircea Lucescu’s team has been playing with a schedule of two a week, and the bench does not always allow the Romanian manager to apply the rotation. Very soon the Dynamo will have two super important games: against Barcelona and Shakhtar. One will have to be sacrificed and not all the major players will have to be freed. I wonder what the capital’s team now has as a priority: the championship or the Champions League?
Three Kiev footballers were knocked out at the same time due to COVID-19. The absence of Buschan and Mykolenko became known on Monday, and the day before the game there was news about Denis Boyko’s positive test. With a high degree of probability, 18-year-old Ruslan Nesheret will occupy a place in the table. This will be his debut with the senior team.
Shaparenko will definitely not play either: in the last round, the midfielder played enough to fire. In addition, Buyalsky and Tsygankov, who played a difficult match for weeks, will have to rest a bit. We also expect Verbic to appear from the first minutes.
Indicative composition: Nescheret – Kendzera, Zabarny, Popov, Karavaev – Sidorchuk, Andrievsky, Duelunn – Rodriguez, Supryaga, Verbich
Prediction for the match “Dnipro-1” – “Dynamo” 1: 2
Dnipro is in good shape and will definitely fight a higher status opponent. The defense of the Kievites, even after the return of Popov, does not play without sin, which means that the nominal owners will find their only goal. On the other hand, “Dynamo” is now pissed off and will definitely want to show that the victory lost on Wednesday is just an oversight, not a pattern. Also, don’t forget about Supryaga, whose motivation should be higher than the rest.
