Dynamo Kyiv form and stats

5 wins, 0 draws and 0 losses. That’s the product of Dynamo Kyiv, who have the fewest conceded goals (7) in Premier League, playing as the away team in the Premier League this season.

The Dynamo goalkeeper Georgiy Bushchan is collecting clean sheets like a laundry worker. It's been 197 league minutes without conceding a goal, and counting.

It might be tough going out on the road again for Dynamo, facing their second straight away game. Especially as the previous game, ended with a defeat 0-3 versus Juventus. A home win before that, celebrating 2-0 vs Vorskla.

A quick return to home after this game, as Dynamo Kyiv are hosting Ferencvaros in the Champions League only three days away.

Dynamo create on average more than 2,5 goals per away game (in the league) all by themselves, having scored 14 goals in 5 travels. Dynamo's manager M. Lucescu has created a great defensive setup working very nicely in away games with only 2 conceded goals. You can find more goal stats on the Statistics tab above.

The Ukrainian Premier League is the highest division of football in Ukraine. It was created in 1991 as Ukraine declared independence from the Soviet Union. Twelve teams play each other twice in a 22 match regular season to create a league table. The table then splits in half resulting in a Championship round and a Relegation round, each playing ten more fixtures.
