Dynamo Kyiv take on the visitors AEK Larnaca in the round 2 match of UEFA Europa League group stage. The match will be played on Thursday, September 15th at Stadion MKS Cracovia (Kraków).
Dynamo Kyiv, largely due to the opponent's disorganization and lack of concentration on their part, defeated Fenerbahce. And then, due to the superiority in the class and the experience of the mentor, they knocked out "Storm". But since the end of the summer, the capital club began to decline. It concerned not only the hopeless relegation in the Champions League qualification from Benfica, but also the failed starting rounds of the UPL. It is symbolic that it ended in Istanbul. There, the "canaries" took revenge for the summer failure. However, again losing in the game, especially in the 1st half, the vice-champion of Ukraine was close to a strategically good result - a draw. Tsygankov leveled the score with a cool blow after the break. These 1-1 managed to keep up to the added minutes. But - again the standard, the hustle, and another stellar newcomer of the opponent, Batshuayi, forgotten at the far post, converted his chance.

AEK Larnaca have never been the champion of native Cyprus. Yes, I won the national cup, or, like last season, got to 2nd place. By the way, it allowed us to start qualifying for the Champions League in the summer. But there it all ended on the very first opponent - Midtjylland. The “yellow-greens” exchanged draws with them 1-1, eventually losing to the Danes on penalties. On the other hand, do not underestimate the team, which is not bad for the Europa League. In qualifying in the summer, having taken off from the Champions League, the Cypriots defeated Partizan and Dnepr-1. And with Rennes at home in the 1st round, a little was not enough for a decent result. The scenario was very similar to what is happening almost in parallel in Istanbul. AEK also responded to the first conceded goal and kept it 1-1 for a long time. And also conceded from the French at 90+ minutes.
Dynamo has never played against AEK. Although both sides have experience of meetings with representatives of such countries. Bookmakers believe that it's time for Dynamo to break the bad streak. We bet on the victory of the Ukrainians.
Prediction for the match: Dynamo Kyiv to win.
