For the first time in a long time Dynamo made their way to the group stage of the Champions League this season, but Mircea Lucescu’s team was able to compete for the playoffs. It was almost impossible to compete with Juventus and Barcelona. At the same time, the Kyivans were able to compete for the third line, being ahead of “Ferencvaros” by three points. In the Ukrainian league Dynamo are still leading with 33 points, but the second Shakhtar are only three points ahead, so the whole fight for the championship is still ahead.
Nice is in an even deeper crisis than Marseille. Like the future rival, Eagles also managed to change the mentor. And this did not give them any special fruits either. At the moment the team is only on the 14th line in the tournament. After 24 matches played they have 29 points. Only 7 points separate them from the relegation zone. Oddly enough, but the southerners are one of the worst clubs in France in Ligue 1 in terms of results at home (in 12 matches, only 11 points earned). But Ursi’s players are very confident at a party: Win-5; Draw-3; Defeat-4. 15 goals are scored and 11 conceded. But in the last 2 games on the road Nice lost to Monaco (2:1) and PSG (2:1). We must note that in matches against stronger opponents, the red-blacks looked very worthy. The coach has problems with the composition. Following players will not be able to appear on the field: Jordan Lotomba, Jeff Rene-Adelaide, Kasper Dolberg, Yousef Atal and Dante.
