Dynamo Kiev v RB Salzburg

Dynamo Kyiv vs Salzburg Preview

Ukrainian side Dynamo Kyiv will take on Austrian outfit Salzburg in the 1st leg of this Champions League play-off tie at the Arena Lublin as the hosts look to extend their current unbeaten run in all competitions to seven games, while Salzburg bring an impressive 13-game unbeaten stretch of matches in all competitions into this crucial 1st leg clash.

Five wins from their last six matches overall will give Dynamo Kyiv plenty of confidence having previously despatched the likes of Partizan Belgrade of Serbia 9-2 on aggregate along with a 3-1 win on aggregate against Scottish Premiership side Rangers, in the previous two qualifying rounds of this season's Champions League.

In addition, Dynamo Kyiv have also posted back-to-back wins in the Ukrainian Premier League to start their new domestic top flight campaign off in style with victories gained over Veres Rivne and Karpaty Lviv, in 2-1 and 3-1 wins respectively and both away from home as well.

The bigger picture shows Oleksandr Shovkovskyi's side have been handed just one defeat in their last 14 matches in all competitions and having collected 10 wins within this period, the hosts will feel upbeat about their chances here.

Incidentally, goals for both sides also looks promising as eight of Dynamo Kyiv's last 14 games have also produced goals for both teams.

Salzburg registered a 1-0 win away from home at LASK in the Austrian Bundesliga on the weekend which also became their third win on the trot in the new domestic top flight season having previously accounted for the likes of Grazer 3-2 away and then inflicting a heavy 5-1 home win over Blau-Weiss Linz on matchday 2.

The Austrian visitors finished last season's domestic top flight season in impressive fashion as they registered comprehensive victories over Hartberg 5-1 and LASK 7-1 and Salzburg have pretty much picked up where they left off at the end of last term and carried this form into this new season.

Indeed, Salzburg have picked up no fewer than 11 wins within their last 13 games in all competitions and this also includes a high-scoring 5-4 win on aggregate against Dutch Eredivisie outfit, FC Twente, in the previous qualifying round of the Champions League.

Goals also look likely to feature in this 1st leg tie at the Arena Lublin on Wednesday night as eight out of Salzburg's last 13 matches in all competitions have also seen both teams hit the back of the net and this trend may well continue here.
