Overview.
This will be the first competitive meeting between Lugano and Dynamo Kyiv. None of Lugano’s last 14 European matches in all competitions have ended level, with the Swiss side winning six and losing eight of those matches – including a 0-1 defeat to FC Kobenhavn on MD1. Including qualifiers, Dynamo Kyiv have lost just one of their last six matches in European competition against Swiss opposition (W4 D1), a 2-0 defeat against Young Boys in a Champions League qualifier in 2017-18. Dynamo Kyiv’s Vitaliy Buyalskiy – who netted the winner on MD1 against Malmö – has scored as many Europa League goals in his last six appearances (3) as he managed in his first 18 such appearances in the competition. Dynamo Kyiv have only lost one of their last seven group stage games away from home in the Europa League (P7 W5 D1 L1) – a 2-3 defeat to Albanian side Skënderbeu Korçë in November 2017.

Teams Comparison.
FC Lugano started their Europa League (EL) campaign with a 1-0 loss, making it nine games (including qualifiers) that their EL and UEFA Cup matches have been won/lost either way. Seven games during this run were decided by a single-goal with 2-1 (three times) or 1-0 (three times) being the final score on six occasions. Home comforts for Lugano fetched three wins in four European games including qualifiers. All four saw the hosts manage a first-half clean sheet, with three remaining goalless at the break. That has been the case in five of their nine domestic matches this season as well, with their last four games won/lost being settled via a single goal.
Dynamo Kyiv started their EL campaign with a 1-0 win on Matchday one, making it the sixth instance in their last seven EL games that they have witnessed a clean sheet. The Ukrainians have travelled well also in this competition, avoiding defeat in six of their last seven EL trips (W2, D4, L1). Even in their domestic league this season, Dynamo have avoided defeat in five road trips (W4, L1). Dynamo have managed to keep four clean sheets during this sequence, while scoring over 1.5 team goals in four of those five.
