UEFA Europa League

Kick-off at 17.55 UK/ 18.55 CET
Venue: NSC Olimpiyskiy Stadium (Kiev).
Jablonec takes a trip to Kiev, to take part in their final European match of the season. They have already been eliminated from the tournament, and now has just left their pride to play for.
Kyiv occupies the top spot in the table and just needs one more point to consolidate their topper tag. They have recorded 11 points from their five matches and remains unbeaten in the tournament.
Jablonec has not recorded a single win in the competition so far. All they could manage so far is just two points on the table. Their record reads two draws, three losses, and zero wins.
Kyiv won their last match, on the road, against Karpaty. The final scoreline was 0-4 in favor of the guests. Tsygankov scored a hattrick for the team. Along with the away win, the clean sheet also inspired the away fans.
Jablonec lost their last match, on the road, against Karvina. It was their league match and the final scoreline was 2-1 in favor of the hosts. Jablonec had managed to find the equalizer in the 25th minute after Karvina scored an early goal. But in the second half, the home team scored once more to take the three points.
Kyiv holds a 100% unbeaten record against Jablonec. Dynamo has the home advantage in this tie, and they are the topper of the league, while Jablonec occupies the dead-last position. Jablonec has already been eliminated from the competition.
Kyiv needs just one more point from this tie to ensure they finish up the topper of the group. Against a weak opposition like Jablonec, at home, almost surely Kyiv will attain their target.
Dynamo has won six of their last seven matches, and their last four games at home, in a row. On the other hand, Jablonec is winless in three of their last four ties, and their last three away games in a row.
