Dynamo Kyiv vs Barcelona Predictions and Betting Tips
The Blaugrana would be looking to put themselves in the discussion for automatic qualification as they travel to the Olimpiysky National Sports Complex to take on Dynamo Kyiv this Tuesday. Read on for our expert tips and predictions.
Gerard Pique netted the only goal at the Nou Camp in the reverse fixture about two weeks ago as Barcelona picked up their first win in the UEFA Champions League group stage having lost the first two.
Highly-anticipated encounter on the cards
No wins or goals in the UEFA Champions League group stage for Dynamo Kyiv doesn't seem to affect them domestically as the Ukrainian giants are unbeaten and at the summit of the Premier League after 13 games, dropping points on just two occasions. They did well to get back to winning ways after that loss at the Camo Nou with a 2-0 victory against Dnipro and most recently, Sydorchuk and Shaparenko were on hand to give them yet another victory in all competitions beating Mariupol to pick up their 11th league win of the season. Barcelona aren't at their best at the moment and with Dynamo Kyiv unbeaten on home soil since March, we could see Lucescu's charges celebrating their maiden win in the UEFA Champions League this season.
Barca's loss to Rayo Vallecano in the LaLiga Santander was enough for Laporta to send Koeman packing with Dutchman failing to reinvigorate his team this season. With reports of Xavi taking up the mantle real soon, Sergi Barjuan has been given the keys to the Barcelona ship as its interim manager. He didn't get off to the best possible start as the Barca coach as we saw them drop points once again in the league against Alaves stretching their winless run to three matches. The Blaugrana travel for the sixth time this season, failing to win any of the first five. Would the new interim coach lead them to their first away win of the season at the sixth time of asking ?
