-----------------------------------
It is all to play for between Club Brugge and Dynamo Kiev as the sides are locked at 1-1 heading into Friday's Europa League last-32 second-leg tie. Brandon Mechele struck to cancel out Vitaliy Buyalskiy's opener in Kiev, with that away goal giving Brugge a slim advantage heading into the reverse fixture at Jan Breydel Stadium.
Match preview
Dynamo have failed to win any of their last eight European matches, conceding at least twice in each of their last four, though a score draw could prove enough on Thursday. Mircea Lucescu's side are perhaps fortunate not to be a goal behind heading into this contest, however, as Bas Dost missed a good chance for Brugge late on last week.Brugge followed up their draw in Ukraine with a 3-0 win against Leuven in the Belgian First Division on Monday to move 15 points clear at the summit.Philippe Clement's men are now unbeaten in 12 matches in all competitions, winning 11 of those - the exception being their draw with Kiev.Dynamo have been in decent enough form themselves, drawing two and winning one of their three competitive matches in 2021. The Ukrainians have already won in Belgium this season, too, as they saw off Gent in Champions League qualifying - Vladyslav Supriaha and Carlos de Pena on target that day.However, they take on a Brugge side that have lost only one of their seven previous home Europa League knockout ties, most recently drawing 1-1 with Manchester United in the last 32 last season.Brugge, who like Kiev dropped into the Europa League after finishing third in their Champions League group, will therefore enter this tie as favourites to protect what they have and advance.If that is to to be the case, though, then the hosts will have to keep Buyalskiy and Viktor Tsygankov quiet, the pair having been directly involved in 14 of Dynamo's last 16 Europa League goals.
