Dynamo Kyiv – Team Analysis
| Date | Competition | Opponent | Score | Result |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2026-07-23 | UEFA Europa League | PAOK | 2-3 | 🔴 Loss |
| 2026-07-16 | UEFA Europa League | Universitatea Cluj | 0-0 (pen. 4-2) | 🟡 Draw |

| 2026-07-09 | UEFA Europa League | Universitatea Cluj | 0-0 | 🟡 Draw |
| 2026-07-03 | Friendlies Clubs | Lask Linz | 2-0 | 🟢 Win |
Dynamo Kyiv’s recent form across all competitions, represented by LDWDW, shows a mixed bag of results. They managed to score twice in the first leg against PAOK, demonstrating their attacking potential despite the loss. Averaging 1.6 per game, they are certainly capable of finding the net.
Defensively, conceding 1.0 per game is respectable, but their clean sheet against Universitatea Cluj in the earlier qualification round contrasts with their open game against PAOK. Trailing by one goal, Dynamo will be forced to push forward, potentially leaving spaces for PAOK to exploit.

Betting Analysis & Tips
This second leg promises another intriguing fixture, with PAOK holding the aggregate advantage. Bookmaker odds from Wolfbet price a PAOK home win at 1.72, a draw at 3.5, and a Dynamo Kyiv away win at 3.81. Our independent model assesses PAOK’s probability of winning at 58%, which closely aligns with the implied probability of 58.14% from the 1.72 odds. This suggests the odds are efficiently priced, leaving no significant value for a straightforward home win bet.
While external expert predictions largely favor a PAOK home win and often point towards Over 2.5 Goals (1.72 odds) and Both Teams To Score (BTTS), our model indicates no positive expected value for any of the main outcome markets. Dynamo Kyiv, needing to score, will likely adopt an attacking posture, potentially opening up the game and supporting the 'Over’ goals scenario. However, despite the potential for goals, the market prices appear to have accurately factored in these dynamics.
The value ratings provided below, derived from our rigorous analytical model, highlight that no outcome currently offers a statistical edge against the bookmaker’s prices. The draw and away win markets show notable negative expected value, making them particularly unattractive. Bettors looking for value in this match might find better opportunities elsewhere.
| Market | Selection | Odds | Value Rating |
|---|---|---|---|
| Match Result | PAOK FC | 1.72 | No value |
| Draw | Draw | 3.5 | No value |
| Match Result | Dynamo Kyiv | 3.81 | No value |
Final Prediction
Based on our model’s probability assessment, PAOK FC are the most likely team to secure a victory in this second leg, holding a 58% chance of winning. Given their home advantage and current aggregate lead, they are well-positioned to progress.
However, after a thorough analysis comparing these probabilities against the available bookmaker odds, our model indicates no significant expected value in betting on any outcome. While PAOK is the most probable winner, the odds of 1.72 reflect this likelihood accurately, negating any betting edge. Therefore, our honest call for this fixture is to exercise caution in the market.
| Predicted Score | PAOK FC 2-1 Dynamo Kyiv |
