The hosts are coming into the game on the back of a penalty shootout victory over Zalgiris in the second leg of their first-round qualification tie.

Neither side scored another goal, prompting a thrilling 14-round penalty shootout that saw Hamrun advance with an 11-10 victory.

Hamrun impressively overturned a two-goal deficit to eliminate Zalgiris in the last round and get here. They are competing at this stage of the Champions League Qualifiers for the first time in their history but the chances of progressing beyond this stage appear slim.

Dynamo Kyiv are perennial figures on the continental stage. However, they have not made it to the group stage of the UCL since the 2021-22 season. Furthermore, they had far from ideal preparations for this campaign, but are still the favorites to advance in this tie.

Back the visitors to claim a narrow win with goals at both ends.
