The champion of Ukraine Dynamo Kyiv at the NSC “Olympic” will play with the giants of Portuguese football.
Both the paired matches to fit with the vital need for glasses – Dynamo and Benfica in the two initial group stage matches played by just one point, but because the next game will finally clarify further the fate of European teams.
On the domestic arena opponents today the situation is reversed – “Dynamo” seriously lags behind “Shakhtar” and struggling with “Dawn” for second place Benfica in seven rounds allowed himself only one draw.
And Sergei Rebrov, and Rui Vitoria today will not be able to put optimal lineups, but the Portuguese have much more. In lazerette was Andre Almeida, Rafa Silva, Jonas, Orta – “Dinamo” will not be able to rely on Denys Garmash, and the output on the Victor Tsygankov remains
in question.
Dynamo and Benfica will meet for the first time since 1992 – in the Champions League, the clubs traded home wins (1:0 and 5:0).
Preliminary formulations:
Dynamo: Rudko – Danilo Silva, Khacheridi, Vida, Makarenko – Rybalka – Yarmolenko, Sydorchuk, Buialskyi, Gonzalez Moraes.
Benfica: Julio Cesar – Nelsinho, LindelEf, Lopez, Grimaldo – Face, Samaris – Salvio, Worms, Pizzi – Mitroglou.
Stream: TRK “Ukraine” and “Football 2”, 21:45
Prediction: 1:1
