Dynamo Kyiv vs Pafos Prediction – Champions League

The home team enters this 3rd round with no points, having secured 2 victories thus far. In their debut, they defeated the Hamrun Spartans (0‑3) away. In the 2nd round, they triumphed over the same team at home (3‑0). Dynamo Kyiv heads into this fixture following a victory against Veres (0‑1). They have enjoyed a successful streak at home, winning 8 and drawing 2 of their last 10 competitive matches, consistently scoring in 9 of those games. Notably, they have opened the scoring in 12 of their last 15 fixtures, maintaining their lead at half-time in 11 matches and ultimately holding onto the advantage in 9 of them.

Dynamo Kyiv approaches this match with confidence following a triumph against Veres Rivne in a Ukrainian Championship match. They reached this stage of the Champions League after eliminating Hamrun in the previous round. The Ukrainian side is likely to adopt their usual 4-3-3 formation, focusing on a more controlled style of football, with attacks primarily constructed through the centre. Ahead, Vladyslav Vanat, Nazar Voloshyn, and Vladyslav Kabaev will aim to disrupt the opponent’s defence, while Mykola Shaparenko will orchestrate play in midfield. Vitaliy Buyalskyi, Angel Torres, and Valentyn Rubchynskyi are ruled out due to injuries.
