The Europa League returns this week, with Dynamo Kiev hosting Club Brugge for the first leg of their Round 32 tie on Thursday.
Interestingly, the two sides met in the Champions League qualifying phase last season, with the Belgian side edging the Ukrainians 4-3 on that occasion.
Dynamo Kiev started the current campaign in the Champions League, although they were eliminated from a hugely difficult group.
The Ukrainian side finished three points ahead of last-place Ferencvaros in Group G, but a whopping 11 points behind Barcelona and Juventus.
However, it’s safe to say that Dynamo Kiev are enjoying a far better run in the Ukrainian Premier league this season.
The club from the capital have only lost one of their 14 league matches this term, claiming ten wins and three draws along the way.
Not only are Dynamo Kiev the second-highest scorers in the league, but they also boast the joint-best defensive record.
Club Brugge also started life in the Champions League this season, although they only managed to finish third in Group F.
The Belgians did the double over Zenit Saint Petersburg, as well as recording two draws with Lazio, yet two defeats to Borussia Dortmund ultimately saw them miss out on the qualifying spots by two points.
Back home, Club Brugge are currently enjoying an eight-match winning streak in the Belgian top-flight, putting them 13 points clear at the top.
In fact, the Brugge outfit have only lost one of their previous 16 games domestic games, drawing just twice during that period.
Head-to-head: Dynamo Kiev and Club Brugge faced each other in the qualifying phase for the 2019/20 Championship League, with the Belgians narrowly advancing.
After securing a 1-0 home win, Club Brugge drew 3-3 with Dynamo Kiev in Ukraine. Needless to say, goals are expected on Thursday.
Team news: Dynamo Kiev will be without long-term absentees Mykyta Burda and Volodymyr Kostevych on Thursday, while Tudor Baluta and Ilya Zabarnyi are also doubts.
Cisse Sandra is Club Brugge’s only injury concern at the moment, meaning the Belgians will be at full strength on Thursday.
If the previous meeting between these two sides is anything to go by, the first leg should produce plenty of goals.
Forebet predicts that both teams will score over 1.5 goals in Kiev, with a draw looking like the most probable outcome.
