Dinamo Kiev vs Partizan Preview

Dynamo Kiev have plenty of pedigree in the Champions League which should be good enough to get a home win in this encounter. It should, however, be tight.

Head to Head

Dynamo Kiev have won both previous encounters against Partizan.

Dinamo Kiev Form

Dynamo Kiev return to competitive action after narrowly missing out on their first Ukrainian Premier League title since 2021. Oleksandr Shovkovsky's side finished in second place, just two points behind eventual winners Shakhtar Donetsk.

The Blue & Whites enjoyed a strong run of form at the end of last season. Dinamo won eight and lost only one of their previous nine Premier League fixtures.

Shovkovsky's men return to the Champions League qualifiers after being eliminated in round three by Benfica (5-0) in 2022.

Dinamo Kiev Team News

Dinamo boss Shovkovksy is unable to call on a handful of first-team players on Tuesday.

Volodymyr Shepelev and Anton Bol are expected injury absentees, while Mykola Mykhaylenko, Maksym Bragaru and Valentyn Rubchynskyi are on international duty at the Olympics.

Last season's top scorer Vladyslav Vanat is set to spearhead the Dinamo attack.

Partizan Form

Partizan arrive in Poland buoyed by a hard-fought opening-day victory in the Serbian Superliga. Matheus Saldanha's stoppage-time goal secured a 1-0 away win at Napredak last Friday.

The Parni Valjak have struggled in recent away fixtures, though, losing three of their last six since May.

Returning to the UCL qualifiers for the first time since 2017, Partizan secured their place at Europe's top table after finishing as runners-up behind Red Star in the Superliga.

Partizan Team News

Partizan head coach Aleksandar Stanojević has no reported injury issues ahead of Tuesday's trip to Kiev.

Summer signing Kevin Arriaga is expected to feature after an impressive debut in Friday's win at Napredak.

Verdict

Dinamo Kiev v Partizan

Likely to be a competitive contest in neutral Poland, Dinamo's greater experience at this level could prove the difference.

I fancy the men from Ukraine to claim a narrow first-leg victory in Lublin.
