Dynamo:
The game against FC Lviv will be a final rehearsal for Dynamo before incredibly important Champions League qualification play-off fixtures against KAA Gent.
Considering the recent draw against FC Desna Chernihiv (0:0) our team can’t afford losing points so early in the season any more.

Our opponent
Lviv are the most mysterious team of the league so far as the game against Dynamo will be only the second one for Giorgi Tsetsadze’s men this season. Before the matchday 1 game against FC Mynai it turned out that five Lviv side players had COVID-19, so the match was rescheduled.
Considering that Lviv didn’t have enough game practice, they were flattened by FC Kolos Kovalivka away in the matchday 2 game – 0:4.
Lviv went through significant lineup changes in summer. Several players left the team including Brazilians Alvaro and Renan. On the other hand, Lviv got some newcomers including goalkeeper Serhiy Lytovchenko and ex-Dynamo player Olexandr Romanchuk.
