Dynamo Kyiv vs Steaua Bucuresti, a group J match, will be played on Thursday at 18:00 UK time, at the Olympic Stadium in Kyiv. Both teams have three points after round one.
Dynamo Kyiv
The Ukrainian team started the UEFA Europa League with a comfortable away win against Rio Ave. That matched the margin of their biggest previous away victories in this competition. This is the 4th time they are competing in the group stage, and they failed to make it to the next round only once. They are currently 3rd in the domestic league. The team looks especially impressive up front, since they have scored fifteen goals in the last five games.
Denys Garmasch, Lukman Haruna, Dieumerci Mbokani and Yevhen Khacheridi are reportedly injured.
Steaua Bucuresti
The 6-0 victory against Aalborg BK in round one matched Steaua’s biggest victory in Europe, against Young Boys in 1979. Claudiu Keseru scored a hat-trick in twelve minutes, and that is officially the fastest hat-trick in the UEFA Europa League history. In Liga I, they share the first place with CFR Cluj.
Alexander Bourceanu is reportedly injured. Team’s captain, Cristan Tanase is doubtful to play.
Dynamo Kyiv vs Steaua Bucuresti Match Prediction
Looking at the statistics alone, chances are that the away team will have the edge. Steaua won their previous match in Kyiv 2006 4:1. They have also lost only once against Dynamo, in five of their last matches in UEFA competitions. However, the home team is the favorite in this match, with a better and more balanced roster. So the best thing would be probably to bet on them.
