“It was clear that the players were thinking about the next game with “Gent”, as this is the most important game for the club in the last four or five years.“, – these words spoken by Mircea Lucescu after the victory over” Minai “and are the ones that best characterize the scale of the event that will take place on Tuesday night at the NSC” Olimpiyskiy “.” Dynamo “has never been this close to the Champions League group in the last four years, However, the fight with” Gent “should show if this team is ready to take the last decisive step. Will it not be affected by the Same mantra that often hurts Ukrainian representatives in the international arena: when you are wrong where, at first glance, there are no mistakes – without prerequisites.
Champions League. Play-off round. Game of return
Ukraine. Kiev. NSC “Olympic”. 09/29/2020
Referee on the field – Shimon Marciniak (Poland)
Dynamo (Kiev, Ukraine) 22:00 “Ghent” (Belgium)
First match – 2: 1
Television broadcasting in Ukraine – TV channel “Soccer 1”

Did not play: Denis Popov, Nikita Burda, Alexander Tymchik, Artem Besedin, Nazariy Rusin (all – “Dynamo”); Roman Bezus, Georgi Chakvetadze, Alexander de Brun, Roman Yaremchuk, Vadis Ojija-Ofoe (all – “Gent”)
Lucescu urged to forget the result of the first match, the fans are also in no rush to send the Dynamo to the group after the 2: 1 victory in Ghent, but few people talk about an interesting feature. The Dynamo have failed in the last three Champions League qualifying campaigns, but the Kiev side have never lost a home game. With “Brugge” there was a 3: 3 tie, with “Ajax” – a 0: 0 tie, before that – victories over “Slavia” and “Young Boys”. Considering the final round of the 2015/16 group stage, in which Dynamo Kiev beat Besiktas 6-0, the Kievans have not lost at home in the Champions League in six straight games. The last time Benfica left Kiev with a shield was in October 2016.
At the same time, the whole picture does not look so bright. With victories over AZ (at home) and Ghent (away), the Dynamo, for the first time since 2012, tied two consecutive wins in the Champions League standings. In case of victory over “Gent” and in the reporting match, Mircea Lucescu will repeat the result of Yuri Semin, who won three victories in a row over “Feyenoord” and “Borussia” Mönchengladbach in the summer of 2012. However, the Germans defeated Kiev at home in the second leg, but it was the Ukrainian team that made it to the Champions League group on goal difference.
Another interesting nuance, which testifies to the strong advance of Dynamo in the results, associated with the Table of coefficients. If the Kyiv team beat Gent a second time, or at least play him in a draw, then in the three European Cup games this season they will score more points on the Odds Table than in all of last season.
I must add that last year’s failure hits the Dynamo’s standings today. Should they reach the group stage of the Champions League, the Kievites will not have enough place for the second basket, which could be offset last year by a successful performance in the Europa League. To understand the significance of this nuance, imagine that Barcelona will enter the group from the second basket, and not Olympiacos or Salzburg, from the third.
Pre-match designs
Little has changed in a week. So far, centrals Burda and Popov cannot play (although he has started training). Gerson Rodríguez was not included in the “Minai” application due to the massacre and aggravation of ancient damages, but the day before he trained in the general group. Nor will there be Nazariy Rusin.
But Fran Sol, Georgy Tsitaishvili, Mikel Duellund, Bogdan Lednev can play. At least these players are not hampered by health problems, except perhaps a lack of confidence as a coach.
Indicative composition:
Georgy Buschan – Tomash Kendzera, Ilya Zabarny, Vitaly Mikolenko, Alexander Karavaev – Sergei Sidorchuk, Nikolai Shaparenko, Vitaly Buyalsky – Carlos De Pena, Victor Tsygankov – Vladislav Supryaga
“Gent” will definitely not be helped by the disqualified Roman Bezus. Midfielder Vadis Ojidja-Ofoe is injured. But Georgi Chakvetadze arrived with a delegation in Kiev. However, his willingness to participate in the game remains in doubt: the coaches will be determined in the last training session.
Roman Yaremchuk is in trouble. The Ukrainian was injured in the first game with the Dynamo and then did not enter the field. He also did not fly to Kiev, although sources say the reason he did not appear is deeper than the trauma. Sven Kums flew to Ukraine, but it is still unclear if he is ready to play 90 minutes after injury.
Indicative composition:
Devi Ruf – Alessio Castro-Montes, Michael Ngade-Ngaju, Igor Plastun, Nuri Fortuna – Niklas Dorsch, Elisha Ovusu, Sven Cooms – Jordan Botak, Tim Kleindinst, Lauren Depuatre
Prediction – Victoria Dynamo 1: 0
On the eve of the away game, we predicted a 1: 1 draw for the Dynamo, but the Kiev team exceeded expectations. Now the prediction of victory is suggested. Keep in mind that this will be a “cautious” victory, with minimal risk from the people of Kiev. You can bet the hosts won’t get lost.
