Dynamo Kyiv has been unable to make it to the group round of the Champions League for several years. In order not to play in the Europa League again this year and finally to be in the Champions League, the club’s management decided to invite Mircea Luchechska to the coaching bridge, who had previously worked for a long time in the camp of Dynamo’s principal rival, Shakhtar Donetsk. Under the leadership of the Romanian, the white-blues have already taken the Ukrainian Super Cup, beating just Shakhtar. In 2 rounds of the UPL the team earned 4 points (win and draw) and is now in 4-th position in the standings. Last season, the Kyivans started their way in European competition in the Champions League, but ended up in the Europa League, where they failed to leave the group, finishing in 3-rd place. In the last 7 matches, within the Champions League, Dynamo have only 1 victory with 3 draws and 3 defeats. At home, in the Champions League, things are going better: 3 wins and 2 draws. About frames. The Ukrainian club is approaching the upcoming match with serious personnel losses. The following players will definitely not appear on the field: Besedin, Shepelev, Popov, Burda and Tymchik.
The Stars are confidently moving towards their dreams and are very close to reaching the final. However, we remember that in the series against Colorado, Dallas was also leading with a score of 3:1, but lost in two games in a row and in the last match snatched victory with great difficulty. It cannot be said that Sheriffs play well in attack. They simply use almost every opportunity to excel. But in defense they have more or less order, whereas Anton Khudobin still demonstrates a fantastic game. No wonder he will be the best goalkeeper in the playoffs. However, now the team may have problems with the composition, because it became known that two central forwards, Radek Faksa and Roope Hintsa will not appear on the ice. This could play a key role throughout the series. So, what is the free prediction for the NHL match for today?
