Dynamo Kiev welcome Gent to the Olimpiyskiy Stadium this week for the second leg of their Champions League play-off tie. The Ukrainian giants won the first leg at the Ghelamco Arena in Belgium, triumphing 2-1. With the away goals rule in force, it gives them a commanding lead. They took an early lead through Vladyslav Supriaga before Tim Kleindienst equalised for Gent late in the first half. A red card for Roman Bezus reduced Gent to ten men shortly after the break. Dynamo made the most of their numerical advantage with Carlos de Pena scoring the winner ten minutes from time. It was the third meeting between these teams and the third time that Dynamo had claimed a victory over Gent. Surging with confidence, Dynamo resumed their domestic duties over the weekend with an emphatic 4-0 win at Minai. It leaves Dynamo top of the table on goal difference after four games. Meanwhile, Gent's poor start to the season continued with a 3-2 home defeat to OH Leuven in the Belgian top flight. It left them 14th after seven games played and, with rival teams still to play, by the time this match rolls around they could be further down the table.

Dynamo are unbeaten in their last six home matches in the Champions League. The majority of those matches were in the qualifying rounds, meaning that Dynamo have a lot of experience when it comes to winning the home legs at this stage of the competition. Four of those six matches saw Dynamo keep a clean sheet. Gent have much less experience in the Champions League than Dynamo and have lost four of their last five away matches in the competition. This one seems straightforward. Back Dynamo.
