Dynamo Kyiv hosts Barcelona in round 4 of the Champions League group stage. The match will be played on Tuesday, November 2nd at NSC Olimpiyskiy Stadium (Kyiv)
Dynamo Kyiv is failing the Champions League group stage so far After three matches, Lucescu's players have only one point. At the same time, they have not scored a single goal and have conceded six times. It is quite logical that with such indicators, the White-Blues are in last place in the standings. I do not want to be precarious, but most likely, Dynamo Kyiv will not play in the European Cups in spring. On the other hand, if the hosts beat the crisis-ridden Barcelona, everything will change. Taking into account the last Champions League draw, the White-Blues scored only in one match out of six. In the last nine games in the Champions League, Dynamo Kyiv had the following indicators: only one victory, two draws, and six defeats.

Shortly before the match against Dynamo Kyiv, the management of Barcelona decided to dismiss Ronald Koeman. Temporarily, the Catalans were headed by the ex-coach of Barcelona B, Sergi Barjuan. It is very curious what the team will show under his leadership. But there is an opinion that the problem of Blaugranes lies not in the head coach. In the last six matches in the Champions League, Barça failed to score more than one goal. Four out of five previous away Champions League matches ended with an exchange of goals scored. The Catalans gained their last away victory in the last year's group stage, beating Ferencvaros in Budapest (0-3).
When Dynamo Kyiv plays against big teams, it sits back on heels from the very first minutes and only occasionally remembers that it has to attack. I am sure that the White-Blues will not abandon these tactics in the upcoming match either. Most likely, they will press against their penalty area from the very first minutes and will simply give the ball to the Catalans. The visitors will now experience some emotional upsurge, which is associated with the dismissal of Koeman. I think that this fact, as well as the higher class of performers, will help Barça to earn three points in the capital of Ukraine.
Prediction for the match: Barcelona to win
