Dynamo Kyiv vs Maccabi Tel Aviv Prediction and Betting Tips | August 28th 2025

Dynamo Kyiv will face Maccabi Tel Aviv at the Arena Lublin on Thursday in the second leg of their 2025-26 UEFA Europa League play-off round qualifying clash. The Ukrainian outfit were knocked out of the Champions League qualifiers earlier in the month following a 3-0 aggregate defeat to Pafos in the third round and could now suffer yet another drop down to the Conference League following their first-leg result.

They were beaten 3-1 in the reverse fixture last week with a red card to Kostiantyn Vivcharenko five minutes after the restart making an already difficult task nearly impossible.

Maccabi Tel Aviv were in inspired form in the first-leg clash, taking the lead via a Dor Peretz strike in the 12th minute. They were pegged back later in the first-half but upped the ante after their opponents' numerical reduction in the second with Sagiv Jehezkel and Peretz finding the back of the net.

The Yellows will now head into the second-leg this week, knowing a draw is all they need to secure a return to the Europa League league phase.

Dynamo have lost their last three games in European action, conceding six goals in that period and scoring just one. They have no 'home advantage' to rely on with the second leg clash set to be played in Poland.

Maccabi meanwhile will head into Thursday's game in fine form having won their last four games on the bounce. They are already two goals up in the tie and should hold on to their advantage this week.
