While we expect Dynamo Kyiv to win both legs of this tie, we believe this will be a low-scoring affair.

Dynamo Kyiv preview: No new absentees
Dynamo Kyiv halted their four-game winless streak when they met Hamrun Spartans last week, scoring three unanswered goals on the road.
With no injuries bothering the hosts, coach Oleksandr Shovkovskyi could still be tempted to rotate the lineup from last Thursday, giving other members of the squad some playing time, as the tie looks home and dry.
Predicted lineup: Neshcheret (GK), Dubinchak, Mykhavko, Popov, Tymchyk, Buyalskyi, Mykhailenko, Pikhalonok, Yarmolenko, Vanat & Kabaiev.

Hamrun Spartans preview: Hoping to overturn a huge deficit
Hamrun Spartans will have to dig very deep in unfamiliar turf if they want to overturn the 3-0 deficit from the first leg.
While the visitors can borrow motivation from their heroic comeback in Malta last time out against Zalgiris Vilnius in the first qualifying round, a comeback this time will be difficult to pull off on the road.
Nonetheless, the reigning Maltese Premier League champions have no injuries to contend with ahead of this meeting, giving them a little hope to try and stage what could be their biggest comeback in European football.
Predicted lineup: Bonello (GK), Polito, Emerson, Bjelicic, Camenzuli, Compri, Cadenovic, Ederson, Mbong, Simkus & Koffi.

Player to watch: Nazar Voloshyn
Nazar Voloshyn put in a man-of-the-match performance last week, with a goal and an assist in the first leg of this tie. That was more direct goal involvements than he had in his previous 14 appearances for club and country. The 22-year-old will fancy his chances against Hamrun Spartans once again.
