Dynamo are facing a tough stretch
Dynamo's mood today is not as good as it were only two weeks ago. After a weakened squad suffered a 1-3 setback at Vorskla, Dynamo were unable to defeat Ajax Amsterdam (NED) in the home leg of the 4th Champion League Qualification round. And really, did not look like winning the match until going down a men (due to Garmash's red card) and Ajax going up a goal. Dynamo did subject Ajax to some pressure and did even the score but a draw looked like a ddeserved outcome for both sides. Now Dynamo are facing an unpleasant task of having to attack on the road, a task, which was big enough for them even at home against Dnipro yesterday...

Dynamo are facing an early do or die moment. With a favorable result, Dynamo advance to the Champions League proper. With a bad result, Dynamo end up in the Europa League.
No matter how it ends in Amsterdam, Dynamo will return to face a balooning deficit in the Ukrainian Premier league as Shakhtar have claimed an early 5 point lead on Dynamo after just 7 matches.
