Europa League. Matchday 4. Thun – Dynamo. Preview

The game will start at 22.05 (Kyiv time).

Dynamo: little time for preparation

After five wins in October Dynamo started the new month with the defeat against FC Zorya Luhansk.

Blokhin’s men had only two days for preparation for the fixture against Swiss side. Anyway this time is enough to analyze peculiarities of opponent’s play.

It should be mentioned that Andriy Yarmolenko will take the field again after two-match suspension.

The forthcoming game against Thun can become 20th match on euro arena for Maxym Koval and Roman Bezus, 25th for Brown Ideye, 50th for Andriy Yarmolenko and 80th for Oleh Husiev.

Thun: figure magic and home goalkeeper

Last weekend was eventful for Thun. They managed to defeat FC Zürich within the Swiss Super League. Berat Sadik was the top person of the match as he scored brace. Still in euro cups Thun have problems with attack. This season they’ve scored only twice within the Europa League group stage.

In the forthcoming match the White-Blues are to solve a special problem. The point is that last time Kyivans won away in euro cups in 2010/11 season (against FC BATE Borisov).

Brown Ideye, who played alongside Thun keeper Guillaume Faivre during the latter's time as Neuchâtel Xamax FC performer, can try to help Dynamo improve the statistics.

From Dynamo to Dynamo

After hammering against Dynamo in Kyiv Thun drew against St. Gallen and defeated Zürich within the Swiss Super League.
