Barcelona is welcoming Dynamo Kyiv to Camp Nou in round 3 of Group E in the UEFA Champions League. Barcelona has finally won a game, and they need another one here if they want to have a chance at advancing past the group stage. Dynamo is the weakest team in this group, but they are in solid form at the moment.

Barcelona is struggling, a lot, but their latest win against Valencia should have a big impact on their form, and it will be right on time. Barcelona was the better team in that game with 60% of ball possession, 5 shots on goal, 9 corner kicks, 3 big chances created, and a high 90% of the correct passes. Yes, Barcelona has conceded first, but they have scored 3 goals after that, and they have won this game 3-1. As far as the Champions League goes, Barcelona has been horrible, and they are still without a scored goal, but I think that is about to change. This is a great situation for Barcelona because they can get closer to that 2nd spot, and they need to stay in shape because they are facing Real Madrid in LaLiga this weekend.

Dynamo is at the top of the table in the Ukrainian Premier League, but they are beneath everyone else in the Champions League, well, except Barcelona. Dynamo Kyiv is also without a scored goal, but they have tied a game against Benfica at the start of the Champions League. Offensively, Dynamo has been doing well, but only in the Premier League, and I don’t think they have what it takes to start playing like that in the Champions League. Dynamo was playing against Lviv in Ukraine this past weekend, and they have had 55% of ball possession, 5 shots on goal, 8 corner kicks, and they have won this game 1-4. As I’ve mentioned, Dynamo is a great team, but only in Ukraine, and I think they should focus on that because Shakhtar Donetsk is right behind them in the standings.

Now that Barcelona has ended their bad streak, they need to keep winning, and I think this is a great game to do so. Barcelona will be playing at home, at the full stadium of their fans, and I think they will get another nice win.
