Dynamo Kiev will be looking to rise from the bottom of Group E in the UEFA Champions League when they host Barcelona on Match Day 4. The two sides haven’t had things working for them this season in the competition and three points here will be crucial for whoever wins. Hosts Dynamo Kiev have one point and Barcelona, placed third, have three points. In terms of recent form, Dynamo Kiev have been better than Barcelona, but this will be a different kind of game. Their only loss in the last five matches was against Barcelona, though they have just one clean sheet in the five. Dynamo Kiev head into this game unbeaten in 13 home matches, the last team to beat them at home being Spanish – Villarreal – in the Europa League. They meet Barcelona in the Champions League for the second straight season and after losing back to back last season they’ll hope for a better outcome here. In the Champions League, Dynamo Kiev haven’t had a very good run; they go to this clash having failed to score in four of the last five in the competition. In those five matches they’ve managed just one goal. They have one win in nine Champions League matches, and only three clean sheets in the last 10.

Barcelona started life after Ronald Koeman with a 1-1 draw with Alaves and they head into this game winless in their last three matches. Sergi Barjuan is the new man in charge and he will be hoping to lift the team after the opening slump that sees Barcelona on three wins only in the last 11 matches. They’ve lost five of the 11 matches and in five of the 11 they’ve failed to score. Barcelona haven’t won any of their five away matches this season; they have one goal in the five games and going to this, they’ve failed to score in the last four. Still, away from home, they have three straight losses and their scoring run hasn’t been impressive. Each of their last five away matches has produced under 2.5 goals. The win over Dynamo Kiev on Match Day 3 was their first in six Champions League games; they’ve lost four.
