It's game one of two in the Champions League as Dynamo Kyiv host Gent. This is a Play-offs fixture played over two legs and nothing will be decided tonight.
It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Dynamo Kyiv and Gent.
Everyone involved with the away team has to get their travel gear ready for this match as there's a whopping 2000 kilometers to cover before arriving at the match.
Dynamo Kyiv form and stats
Action has already taken place for Dynamo in Champions League as they have defeated AZ Alkmaar to reach the Play-offs. Dynamo Kyiv was eliminated in the 3rd qualifying round last season in the Champions League.OK but not perfect. That could be the conclusion for Dynamo Kyiv's two home games in the Premier League so far this season, having collected 4 points here at NSK Olimpijs'kyj.
A good away victory last time out for Dynamo, who won 4-0 against Minai. Sensational by Dynamo Kyiv last match, beating Minai away as big underdogs. In the preceding match a 2-1 victory visiting Gent.
As indicated by the result mentioned above, Dynamo played a great game against Minai and beat them comfortably. Expectations are high for this one.
The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Dynamo have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found three games) they have won one time, drawn one and lost one.
It's still early days, but we have some goal stats for the Dynamo Kyiv at home in the league. 3 on target and 1 scored by the opposition; from 2 matches.
Gent form and stats
The traveling awayteam has defeated Rapid Wien in order to reach Play-offs of Champions League. They also participated in Europa League last season. This ended in the 16th finals.The story so far for the visiting team on their Pro League travels is 1 win, 0 draws and 3 defeats.
Home advantage was not enough for Gent in their previous game, as they lost their Pro League-match, hosting OH Leuven, 2-3. Preceding that, the 1-2 home loss versus Dynamo Kyiv.
Gent are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is one win, one draw and zero defeats. From a total of two matches.
Many goals are not expected from the visiting Gent as they have only managed to score 3 times from 4 away games in the league. Gent have conceded 5 goals in these away matches.
Head 2 Head
The last H2H meeting was Gent - Dynamo 1-2, played this season. Numbers for the last three meetings between these two teams are: three wins for Dynamo, zero draws and zero wins for Gent. Over 2,5 goals: three times; under 2,5 goals: zero games.Dynamo Kyiv missing players
