Dynamo Kiev vs. Barcelona: Preview and betting tips

Barcelona face a crucial match on Tuesday in their fight to qualify for the knockout stages of the Champions League. They travel to Dynamo Kiev, who have not yet won a point. What to expect from the match?

Dynamo are the group E runners-up so far. It hasn’t scored a goal, has scored six on its own and is last without a point. On the other hand, the Ukrainian champions have won four out of five matches since the end of the October national break.

Barcelona in the same period have only won seven points out of a possible fifteen. They are only third in the Champions League, three points behind second-placed Benfica, so they absolutely need to win in Kiev.

Dynamo rely on Viktor Tsygankov, who has scored nine goals and assisted twice in all competitions. Offensive midfielder and Ukrainian international Vitaliy Buyalskyi boasts a 6+1 record.

If there’s anyone to praise from the visiting team, it’s Memphis Depay, who has scored five goals and assisted twice so far. The performances of Frenkie de Jong and Marc Andre ter Stegen remain behind expectations.

The Dynamo are scoring well in October, scoring at least two goals in four of their last five games.

Barcelona have scored just three goals in their last four games, conceding four times.

Given the form of Depay and the return of Ansu Fati from injury, I recommend a bet on the visitors to win.
