Dynamo Kyiv vs Barcelona. Prediction and Betting Tips for UEFA Champions League (November 2, 2021).

Dynamo found themselves in a difficult group with Barcelona, Benfica and Bayern - it would be extremely hard to expect a Top-2 finish from Mircea Lucescu's men. But the team from Kyiv had a really solid opening game and had a chance to win against Benfica. However, Shaparenko's goal at the end of the match was disallowed due to offside and the game was ruled out as a draw (0:0). 

Dynamo Kyiv didn't have any expectations from a trip to Munich for a match against Bayern, who are in a fantastic form and are considered a clear favourite of the group. Eventually, the Ukrainian side conceded five goals at Allianz Arena and failed to come up with a consolation goal. In the last game, Dynamo suffered a narrow defeat from Barcelona (0:1). The White-and Blues sit bottom of the group table with only 1 point in the asset. 

During the summer Barcelona lost Lionel Messi, who is hard to replace. Multiple injuries of key players are also a big concern. The Blaugrana had a poor start to the new La Liga season, and were disappointing in the first round of the Champions League group stage, too. Ronald Koeman's men failed to put up a fight against Bayern at home (0:3). In the second match against Benfica, who is the main competitor for the second playoff spot, Barcelona went down once again - a 0:3 defeat sent the team to the bottom spot. 

Barcelona finally recorded a victory in the third match against Dynamo Kyiv (1:0), but following the results of all three games they are only 3rd in the group table. 

After Barca lost to Rayo Vallecano in the 11th round of La Liga (0:1), Koeman was sacked. While the board is looking for his replacement, the Blaugrana are managed by Sergi Barjuan. In the last round, Barcelona drew with Alaves at home (1:1).
