Preview
- Date: Thursday, October 24
- Kick-off Time: 4:45 pm GMT
- Venue: Stadio Olimpico, Rome, Italy
Football supporters will witness Italian giants, Roma welcoming Dynamo Kyiv for a third-round clash in the UEFA Europa League 2024/25. The two clubs are on the wrong side of the league table with Roma in the 27ᵗʰ spot owing to just a single point so far. Dynamo Kyiv, on the other hand, is yet to open its account and is struggling at the 35ᵗʰ spot. The Roma vs Dynamo Kyiv fixture will be an interesting spectacle for the fans and should be a close encounter to predict.
Roma’s recent form has exhibited more disappointment than anything. In the last six games, the Italian club has managed just a couple of victories to go with two draws and two defeats. After an encouraging start under Ivan Juric, the capital club has fallen off the rails once again. Roma suffered an aching 1-0 defeat to Inter Milan on Sunday. The team has faced Athletic Club and Elfsborg so far in the Europa League but is yet to register its first victory in the competition.
Dynamo Kyiv will be content with how the recent matches have played out. The club has accumulated three victories, a draw, and two defeats in the last six outings. Dynamo’s form in the Ukrainian league cannot be argued with the team at the top of the points table, enjoying a two-point lead. However, Dynamo Kyiv has endured a completely different set of fortunes in Europe, with no points so far and an atrocious negative goal difference of five.

Key Players to Watch in Roma vs Dynamo Kyiv
Paulo Dybala (Roma)
Paulo Dybala has been an undisputed starter in attack for Roma under Ivan Juric. His role has been to play behind Artem Dovbyk and take advantage of the striker’s ability to hold up the ball. Dybala is a household name in Italian football. The Argentinian has just a solitary goal so far this season which is below par according to his standards. Paulo Dybala has seven goals and two assists in 22 Europa League appearances in his career.
Artem Dovbyk (Roma)
Artem Dovbyk was brought in by Roma bosses this summer as one of the most potent and clinical strikers in Europe. Dovbyk won the La Liga Pichichi trophy last season and has already been entrusted as the primary target man in the Roma XI. The Ukrainian has three goals and an assist in eight Serie A appearances this season. His ability to hold the ball and pin the centre-backs will be the key to Roma’s chances of a victory.
Roma vs Dynamo Kyiv Prediction
Roma has been on a poor run of form and results this season. Despite that, the Italians have enough quality in all departments of the field to trouble Dynamo Kyiv and earn the victory. It is difficult to imagine a goal fest with a narrow margin of victory as the most likely outcome.
Predicted Score: Roma 2-1 Dynamo Kyiv
