Dynamo Kyiv vs Barcelona Prediction: UEFA Champions League on 24.11.2020

Barcelona are in action on Tuesday evening when visiting Dynamo Kyiv in a Group G contest set to kick-off at 20:00. The away team sit top of the pile heading into matchday four and bring a 100% record into this contest. Their hosts must win if they are to salvage their chances of finishing in the top two and qualifying for the knockout stages.

Kyiv hoping to be competitive

Dynamo Kyiv sit in third place, but they are level on points with Ferencvarosi TC with both clubs picking up just one of the first nine points that was available to them. Dynamo lost their opening game but did secure a draw next time out against Ferencvarosi before losing again on week three.

This group has quickly taken shape with Barca and Juve contesting top spot, the other two clubs fighting over the Europa League finish. Third place is likely to be decided when Kyiv and Ferencvarosi meet but the locals will be desperate to frustrate Barca and hope to catch the Spaniards on an off day.

Barca on a winning run

Barcelona have nine points thanks to three wins with the La Liga runners up scoring nine goals and conceding two. They are three points better off than nearest rivals Juventus and having already beaten the Old Lady, Barca are hot favourites to win the group. The visitors will want to finish above Juve and send out a message of intent to the rest of the competition.

Despite their Champions League form, they make this trip on the back of a surprise defeat in La Liga on Saturday at Atletico Madrid. Carrasco netted the only goal of the game to bag Atletico all three points and put a dent in Barcelona’s chances of wrestling the Spanish crown back from Real Madrid. That result means they have scored seven goals in three games this month, conceding four.

Dynamo Kyiv vs Barcelona prediction

This is a must-win match for Dynamo Kyiv they want to keep alive their hopes of going through. Beating Barca is easier said than done, of course. The away team will be desperate to fire back following that shock loss at the weekend and will be in the mood to hurt their hosts. They are likely to play attacking football and create plenty of chances.
