Overview

In a crucial Champions League second qualifying round, Partizan Belgrade faces an uphill battle against Dynamo Kiev. The Serbian side must overcome a four-goal deficit after a 6-2 defeat in the first leg. This decisive clash at Stadion Partizana is set to determine which team advances to face Scottish Premiership giants Rangers in the next round.

Match Preview

Partizan Belgrade's performance in the first leg left much to be desired. Despite an early lead through a penalty from Brazilian striker Matheus Saldanha, who was pivotal last season with 18 goals, the team crumbled under pressure. Dynamo Kiev responded with three goals in quick succession before halftime, setting the stage for a commanding victory. Partizan's head coach, Aleksandar Stanoevich, has acknowledged the need for a stronger squad to compete at this level.

Dynamo Kiev, on the other hand, showcased their attacking prowess with goals from Mykola Shaparenko, Volodymyr Brazhko, and Oleksandr Karavaev. The Ukrainian side's depth and experience were evident, as they capitalized on Partizan's defensive lapses. With a comfortable lead, Dynamo Kiev is likely to manage the game conservatively, focusing on maintaining their advantage.

Team News

Partizan Belgrade:
Stanoevich may opt for some tactical changes, with Aleksandar Scekic potentially starting in place of Young-Jun Goh, who was substituted at halftime in the first leg. Aldo Kalulu, who struggled to make an impact, might be replaced by Nemanja Trifunovic in the attack.

Dynamo Kiev:
The Ukrainian side has a few injury concerns. Midfielder Volodymyr Shepelev is sidelined with an ankle injury, while Oleksandr Tymchyk is a doubt. Given their strong position, coach Oleksandr Shovkovskyi may rotate his squad, potentially resting key players like Andriy Yarmolenko.
