This will be the sixth competitive meeting between Dynamo Kyiv and Maccabi Tel Aviv. The Ukrainian champions have the edge historically, with two wins from the previous five encounters. However, Maccabi claimed the most significant result so far — a 3-1 win in the first leg last week, putting them in the driving seat to qualify for the group stage.
Dynamo Kyiv team overview
Despite their Champions League exit in the third qualifying round at the hands of Pafos FC, Dynamo Kyiv have started the 2025/26 season strongly. They currently sit top of the Ukrainian Premier League with three straight wins, scoring 10 goals and conceding just twice. The team head into the return leg full of confidence thanks to their excellent domestic form.
However, they will be without left-back Kostiantyn Vivcharenko, who was sent off in the first leg and is suspended for Thursday’s match.

Maccabi Tel Aviv team overview
Maccabi Tel Aviv are yet to begin their domestic 2025/26 campaign but are thriving in Europe. After being knocked out of the Champions League preliminary round by Pafos FC — the same Cypriot side who also eliminated Dynamo Kyiv — the Israeli champions bounced back impressively. They have recorded three consecutive Europa League wins, capped by their 3-1 victory in the first leg, which leaves them in a strong position to progress.

Prediction
Maccabi Tel Aviv were slightly fortunate to establish a two-goal cushion in the first leg, with the match still level at 1-1 before Dynamo’s Vivcharenko was dismissed. That said, the Israeli champions enjoyed territorial dominance in the opening half and showed attacking quality throughout.
Dynamo Kyiv remain more than capable of overturning the deficit, particularly given their prolific domestic scoring form. However, Maccabi have also demonstrated attacking efficiency and will be confident of finding the net again. For this reason, we predict both teams to score.
Three reasons we expect Both Teams to Score
- BTTS happened in the first leg, which ended 3-1 to Maccabi Tel Aviv.
- Dynamo Kyiv have already scored 10 goals in 3 Ukrainian Premier League matches this season.
- Dynamo Kyiv have failed to keep a clean sheet in 3 consecutive European encounters.
