However, the Turkish side ranks among the best attacking sides in the competition, averaging three goals per game. Victor Osimhen could be the standout attacking player for the hosts, scoring eleven in 14 in the league, and three in four in the Europa League.
A fully fit squad will be available to the hosts on Tuesday, and Dries Mertens could be another important player for the hosts, registering at least one assist in each of his three European appearances.
Dynamo Kyiv
It is hard to make a case for the visitors, as Dynamo Kyiv sit bottom of the Europa League standings.
The Ukrainian side have suffered defeats in each of their last six matches in the competition, and they have scored just once. Dynamo also rank among the worst defensive records in the Europa League, conceding 15 goals in six matches.
Domestically, Kyiv have fared better in the final third, averaging an xG of 1.58 in their away matches, scoring a total of 16 goals.
It doesn’t help their chances that Dynamo have suffered defeats in each of their last four matches against Turkish opposition.
