There is hope, but there are chances… What to expect from Dynamo in the Conference League match against Samsunspor

Already on Thursday, October 23, the champion of Ukraine Dynamo will play its second match of the main stage of the UEFA Conference League of the 2025/26 season. The opponent of Kyiv will be the Turkish Samsunspor.

The champion decided to tell in what condition the people of Kyiv approach the LK match and what to expect from the opponents.

Everything is gone…

“Andriy Yarmolenko caught a cold and will miss the team’s upcoming match in the Conference League against Samsunspor. Mykola Shaparenko, Oleksandr Tymchyk and Vladyslav Dubinchak continue their recovery from calf muscle injuries.”

Actually, such news came from the infirmary of the Kyiv club 4 days before the match. What does this mean for Dynamo? That in a game where “white-blue” needs a victory, 4 players of the main team will not play at once (and if we consider Bilovar as the main team, then all 5). Although Yarmolenko does not pull physically the whole match, he is the team leader, he leads and can save the game. As it was with Galatasaray in winter (3:3).

FC Dynamo

Shaparenko is also far from his prime, but still none of the other players in the center of the field can fully replace Mykola. Due to the absence of Tymchyk, Dynamo will have huge problems on the flank in defense (but there is a plus in attack, which will be discussed later), and Vivcharenko cannot provide the quality that Dubinchak provides.

What can save Dynamo? Two surnames: Buyalskyi and Karavaev. In the last 5 matches in the main squad, Karavaev gave 3 assists and scored 3 goals. Agree, great statistics for a defender. Buyalskyi is generally the best scorer of Dynamo (5 goals and 3 assists in 12 matches).

And everyone who watches Dynamo matches singles out Buyalsky. He, like Yarmolenko, can single-handedly save the team. And that’s why it’s worth adding another surname – Shovkovsky. Why? Because in the last 6 matches, Vitaly did not get into the starting line-up 4 times. The reasons are unknown.

FC Dynamo

In general, there is one more player – Nazar Voloshyn. But it is difficult to call it hope, because it is unstable. Literally in the game against Zora, Nazar had two great chances to score, but couldn’t. His goals could have helped Kyiv to break the winless streak, but… Therefore, Nazar still has a lot to work on.

And that’s all.

Goalkeepers are terrible, among the defenders, only newcomer Tiare plays well in defense. Hoping for a “dry” victory is something on the verge of fantasy. For 17 matches in the current season, Dynamo played to zero only 4 times, and 3 of them were at the start of the season, when the team did not have such problems yet. So the only hope is to score more than the opponent. We hope that the magic of the national team from the match against Iceland has not ended yet.

FC Dynamo

Samsunspor will not lose Emphasize yourself.

I will just say that both options are suitable. For the fifth year already, Dynamo in the European Cups resembles the conditional Oleksandria or Vorskla – it is not clear why they are out, it is not clear how they are playing.

  • Season-2021/22: last place in the Champions League group and only 1 point. Rivals were Bayern, Barcelona and Benfica.
  • Season-2022/23: the last place in the Europa League group and only 1 (!) point in 6 matches. Above are such “grands” of world football as AEK Larnaca (Cyprus), Rennes (France) and Fenerbahce (Turkey).
  • Season-2023/24: did not even make it to the main stage of the Conference League (they were eliminated from Beşiktaş).
  • Season-2024/25: 34th place out of 36 teams! Only one victory (over the Latvian Russian Football Federation) and a draw with Galatasaray, where Yarmolenko saved the team.

For the fourth season in a row, Dynamo will definitely play against a Turkish club. No victory. Before that, the Kyivans won in the 2022/23 draw in the Champions League qualification (Fenerbahce, but even in extra time). And in 90 minutes of regular time, Dynamo won the victory over the Turkish club back in the distant 2016/17 season (6:0 over Besiktas). Almost 10 years ago…

And it is extremely difficult to believe that this streak will end. And here also in the rivals Samsunspor, which stubbornly does not want to lose this season. Only 2 defeats in 12 matches and a six game unbeaten streak that is still going on.

Tournament standings of teams in the League of Conferences Dynamo is already habitually in the last places (to be exact – on the 29th place). And Samsunspor is currently 14th. In the previous round, the Kyivans lost to Crystal Peles, and the Turks defeated Legia (which Shakhtar will play against on October 23). It is too early to draw conclusions, but the loss of points will put a lot of pressure on Dynamo, and the result of the previous season may be repeated.

Approximate starting lineups Dynamo: Nescheret – Karavaev, Popov, Tiare, Vivcharenko, Mykhaylenko, Pikhalyonok, Buyalskyi, Voloshyn, Ogundana, Guerrero.

Samsunspor: Kojuk – Javru, Shatka, Van Drongelen, Thomasson, Yuksel, Koulibaly, Ncham, Holse, Musaba, Marius.

Where to watch Samsunspor – Dynamo The match will take place at the Samsun Stadium named after May 19, located in Samsun province, Turkey. The starting whistle will sound at 22:00 Kyiv time. The broadcast of the match will be available on the MEGOGO media service with Sport, Maximal, Maximal + Charity, MEGOPACK XL subscriptions.

Also, our website will host a text online broadcast of the meeting.
