Team News
Biesiedin, Popov, Kargbo and Supriaga’s injuries keep them out of contention for Dynamo Kyiv. Mykolenko sustained a knock recently and remains a doubt.
Pique, Braithwaite, Wague, Pedri, Roberto and Aguero are the list of casualties for Barcelona. Aguero’s recent heart ailment has ensured a three month stay on the side-lines.
Dynamo Kyiv possible 11:
Buschan, Kedziora, Zabarnyi, Syrota, Karavaev, Tsigankov, Buyalsky, Sydorchuk, Shaparenko, De Pena and Verbic
Barcelona possible 11:
Ter Stegan, Alba, Garcia, Araujo, Mingueza, Gonzalez, Busquets, Gavira, Coutinho, Depay and Dest
Prediction: Dynamo Kyiv 1-1 Barcelona
Barcelona wasn’t at their best on MD 3 but just about managed to secure a win. They have not got their season up and running due to poor performances.
Kyiv is in home comforts for this one and we expect a better challenge from the Ukrainian side.
With Barcelona’s horror show in recent weeks followed by Koeman’s sack, we expect a stalemate in this one.
Players to watch out for: Verbic, Shaparenko, Depay and Coutinho.
