“A lot will depend on what line-up Dynamo will field in Hamburg, Germany. Because, one gets the impression that for Oleksandr Shovkovskyi, the head coach of Kyiv, the priority is performance in the UPL championship, where his wards are quite confidently in the lead and have attempted to win gold medals. Apparently, he does not really need the Europa League. In addition, the Kyiv bench has become significantly shorter, because Andriy Yarmolenko and Oleksandr Pikhalyonok have dropped out of the lineup due to injuries.
In my opinion, if the Dynamo players come out in the optimal composition, then they can safely count on getting the first points in the Europa League.
“Viktoria” is an unyielding team, with considerable experience of performances in European cups, but in terms of level of preparation, “Dynamo” is not superior. Therefore, I hope that the people of Kyiv will make every effort to finally get points. Because the struggle for the championship title in the UPL will continue for a long time, and the failure on the international arena hurts the image of Ukrainian football.”
Currently, “Dynamo” is in the last 36th place in the Europa League, having lost all matches, and “Viktoria” is 16th with six points.
Earlier we reported that the famous football manager Vyacheslav Zahovoylo spoke about the injury of “Dynamo” winger Andriy Yarmolenko.
