Dynamo Kyiv will take on Hamrun in the second leg of their second-round Champions League qualifier on Tuesday, 29 July.
The tie is all-but-done following Dynamo's commanding 3-0 victory in the first leg, but Hamrun will be keen to at least put in a respectable showing in the second leg.
The match is being played at a neutral location in Poland due to the ongoing conflict in Ukraine, so the ‘hosts' won't benefit from the typical home advantage.
How the bookies view it: Dynamo are huge favourites
Dynamo Kyiv are massive favourites to win the match, with their victory in the first leg solidifying the notion that they play at a much higher level than Hamrun. BoyleSports have priced a Dynamo Kyiv victory as short as 1/6, while a victory for Hamrun has been priced at 14/1. The draw, which would be enough for Dynamo to qualify, has been priced at 11/2.
Head to head: A second meeting in a week
Not only is the match on Tuesday the second time that Dynamo Kyiv and Hamrun have faced each other in the last week, but it is also the second time that they have played each other in history. As a result, the Ukrainian side boasts 1-0 record in the overall H2H, courtesy of their 3-0 win in the first leg.
Players to watch: Vanat will be keen for more
Vladyslav Vanat has been a reliable goalscorer for Dynamo Kyiv ever since he broke into the first team as a teenager in 2022.
The 23-year-old has hit double digits in terms of goals in each of his three seasons as the club's first-choice striker and hit his best tally in 2024/25. Vanat managed to net 21 goals in all competitions for the club last season, playing a massive role in ending their four-year title drought.
Vanat looked sharp in the first leg last week and opened the scoring for Dynamo to set them on their way. He is expected to start the match despite the tie being practically done and dusted, and he will see this match as a golden opportunity to add more goals to his overall tally.
Looking to stop him on Tuesday will be goalkeeper Henry Bonello, who made three big saves in the first leg to keep the score down to just three.
Predicted line-ups
Dynamo Kyiv's defence of their Ukrainian Premier League title begins at the weekend, so there is a chance that key players will be rested or taken off early in this one. Hamrun are expected to be without Vincenzo Polito and Merlin Hadzi for this one, with the pair still recovering from injury issues.
Dynamo Kyiv: Neshcheret – Karavaev, Bilovar, Mykhavko, Dubinchak – Shaparenko, Brazhko, Buyalskyi – Yarmolenko, Voloshyn, Vanat
Hamrun: Bonello – Compri, Emerson, Bjelicic, Camenzuli – El Fanis, Cadjenovic, Ederson, Mbong – Simkus, Koffi
Anything else catch the eye?
Dynamo Kyiv are usually a fairly reliable team at ‘home' in European qualifiers, and they have kept a clean sheet in 50% of their last eight home qualifiers. Dynamo Kyiv to win the match to nil has been priced at 20/23 by BoyleSports.
