Dynamo Kyiv and Aris lock horns at the Stadionul Rapid-Giulești on Thursday for the second leg of their UEFA Europa Conference League third qualifying round.
Aris are currently 1-0 ahead in the tie after beating the Ukrainian side at home last week. Luis Palma scored the only goal of the game from the penalty spot in the 69th minute to down Kyiv.
Aiming to reach their first major European finals since the 2010-11 Europa League season, the Gods of War need just a draw here to reach the playoffs.
On the other hand, Dynamo Kyiv had come into the clash on the back of consecutive victories in the Ukrainian Premier League. The Blue and Whites began their campaign with a 4-1 defeat of Mynai on the opening day followed by a 4-2 victory over Obolon-Brovar.
Trending
Kyiv were shut out in Thessaloniki last Thursday, but all is certainly not lost. Mircea Lucescu's side need to win by just two goals at home, which seems doable if they are able to bring their A-game to the fore.
