These 2 teams have squared off against each other 10 times in total out of which Barca have won 6 and Dynamo have won 3.
This season the Catalan club have played brilliantly by winning both of their matches and having a goal difference of 6 conceding only 1 goal. If Messi plays this match, this will be his 150th appearance in UEFA club competitions. On the other hand, Dynamo have not had an impressive start to the season and are losing because they are unable break through their opponents defense.
My score prediction for this match is 3 - 0 to FC Barcelona.
These two teams have played against each other only once when PSG won 3-0.
PSG lost their first match against Man United but, won their second match. Leipzig have won their first match and lost their second against Man United. In my opinion, PSG have a better chance winning as they performed better against Man United than Leipzig did.
My score prediction for this match is 2-0 to PSG.
Manchester united as usual are starting on a very different page since Sir Alex Ferguson has left. Over the years they have had their worst domestic start to the campaign and after the 1-0 loss against Arsenal, Ole is again on the verge of being sacked. Big names and big transfers this season for the Red Devils, but nothing seems to change their fortune. They have however registered 2 wins in UCL this season but that feel of watching ManU dominate the field is gone. Its just a mediocre club with a huge fan base.
For the Turkish club, Istanbul Basaksehir have lost both their games and looks like they will lose this too at home.
Barcelona vs. Dynamo Kiev.
Barcelona will look to maintain their 100% start in champions league tonight as they welcome Ukrainian giants to Camp Nou.
There were fears this match wouldn’t go ahead after most of the Dynamo Kyiv squad fell victim to positive COVID-19 tests. Only 13 players, in fact, traveled to Catalonia this week – the bare minimum required as per UEFA’s health protocols.
But no further positive cases have emerged from the Ukrainians’ camp. The Group G match, therefore, is all set to go ahead as Barcelona aim to steamroll their way to another emphatic win.
HERE HOW I PERSONALLY PREDICT THIS MATCH.
4-0!
I think, the biggest upsets in yesterday’s matches were of Paris and Man United.
Istanbul Basaksehir had never won a game in the UCL before yesterday’s game.
The Blues’ defensive improvements were on display once again as they cruised to a 3-0 win over the Ligue 1 side, taking them top of the group with 7 points from their first 3 group stage matches.

Substitute Youssef En-Nesyri scored a pair of goals three minutes apart in the second half as 10-man Sevilla rallied from two goals down to defeat Krasnodar 3-2.
