Storylines
Kyiv: The hosts drew in their only other home game so far this season and they are unbeaten in 13 across all competitions. Dynamo have lost just once in their last six matches with nine scored and four conceded but are yet to score in Europe.
Barca: Sergi Barjuan’s men are on a run of three straight wins over Kyiv going back to late 2020 with Barca winning 7-1 accumulatively. Barca’s only UCL goal so far came through Pique and lost their last trip away with a five-match winless streak currently in place.
Prediction
Barca to win but only just. Expect Kyiv to give it a good go and perhaps even threaten to draw but the visitors should have just enough. Pick: Kyiv 1-2 Barca.
