Chelsea vs Dynamo Kyiv will meet again after their last Champions League meeting in 2015 and this season they have been brought together in the UEFA Europa League round of 16 last. In this leg 1 match Chelsea get the advantage of playing at home first before going to Dynamo Kyiv headquarters.

Although 4 years ago met but on the Blues side Chelsea had experienced many changes in the composition of players and even coaches, so this became a new match for them again. In the last 32 last round, Chelsea got rid of Malmo FF with a 5-1 aggregate, had won hard in a 1-2 away match but in the second leg they could play off and score 3 goals without reply.

Giroud, who scored 1 goal each on the road and at home to Malmo FF, is most likely to be the mainstay player on the front lines in this match but the coach M. Sarri seems quite confused regarding their new loan player Gonzalo Higuain has scored a goal last against Fulham. But we believe that this will not affect the chances of winning for Chelsea.

For the visitors of Dynamo Kyiv themselves they advanced to this round thanks to getting rid of one of Greece’s best Olympiakos Piraeus teams with a aggregate 3-2. As a result Dynamo Kyiv came to this match with a winning streak in the last 3 matches, they got additional wins over Zorya and Desna.

Chelsea did not lose by winning in the last 2 games, apart from Fulham but also won a big match against Tottenham Hotspur. Chelsea won 2-0 over Harry Kane et al., Seeing the condition of the Blues who are still very good and also benefiting from playing at home, it is likely that Dynamo Kyiv will be defeated in this first leg.
