Correct score prediction: AS Roma 2-1 Dynamo Kiev
Dynamo Kiev's away scoring record has been impressive domestically, but AS Roma's recent home form in Serie A suggests they could edge this encounter.

Most recent H2Hs: Perfectly balanced with two wins each
The last four meetings between these teams came in the Champions League group stages, with each side claiming two victories. However, the historical balance suggests a closely contested match is likely, though it's worth noting that their most recent encounter was many years ago – all the way back in 2007.
AS Roma preview: 27th with one draw from two games
AS Roma enter this fixture in a challenging period, winless in their last three games across all competitions. Their recent 1-0 defeat to Inter Milan at home has intensified pressure on coach Ivan Juric. The Giallorossi are also looking to end a four-match winless run in the Europa League, their longest such streak in the competition.
Predicted Lineup: Svilar (GK); Hermoso, Hummels, Ndicka; Celik, Pisilli, Cristante, Angelino; Soule, Baldanzi; Shomorudov

Dynamo Kiev preview: 35th with zero points
Dynamo Kiev, despite their domestic dominance, have struggled in European competition. They are yet to score in the Europa League this season and have lost nine of their last ten matches in the tournament. However, their recent 5-1 victory in the Ukrainian Premier League demonstrates their attacking capabilities.

Player to watch – Matias Soule (AS Roma)
With Paulo Dybala potentially rested, Matias Soule could be given a chance to shine in Roma's attack. The young Argentinian winger has the opportunity to inject creativity and flair into the Giallorossi's offensive play, potentially providing the spark needed to secure a crucial victory.
This feels all the more likely given that Soule has been brought on as a substitute for Dybala in many recent games for AS Roma.
