Dynamo Kyiv will host Zrinjski Mostar at the Arena Lublin on Thursday in the third round of the 2025-26 UEFA Conference League league phase. The Ukrainian side have endured a difficult run of form of late, most recently losing 3-1 to Shakhtar Donetsk in their domestic league and will be desperate for some better luck on the continental stage this week.
They have, however, endured a woeful start to their Conference League campaign, losing 2-0 to 10-man Crystal Palace in their tournament opener before suffering a comprehensive 3-0 defeat away at Samsunspor last time out.
Zrinjski Mostar, meanwhile, enjoyed a dominant 5-0 victory over Lincoln Red Imps in their opening game last month, with five different players getting on the scoresheet for the Bosnian outfit. However, they suffered a setback in game two as they lost 1-0 to Bundesliga side Mainz, finding themselves a goal down midway through the first half before a red card to Igor Savic minutes later all but scuppered their chances of a positive result in Germany.
The Nobles sit 13th in the league phase table with three points and will be keen to return to winning ways in the competition on Thursday.
Dynamo Kyiv vs Zrinjski Mostar Head-to-Head and Key Numbers
- Thursday's game will mark the first-ever meeting between the two clubs.
- Dynamo's only previous encounter with Bosnian opponents came during the 2007-08 UEFA Champions League qualifiers, where they faced Sarajevo, winning the two-legged tie 4-0 on aggregate.
- Zrinjski have scored five goals in the Conference League this season. Only AEK Athens (7) have scored more.
- Dynamo are one of four teams in the continental showpiece this term yet to score a goal after the first two rounds.
Dynamo Kyiv vs Zrinjski Mostar Prediction
Despite recording just two wins in their last nine games across all competitions, the Blue & Whites remain firm favourites for the midweek clash due to the difference in quality between the two teams. However, they have no home advantage to rely on, with the game set to be played in Poland, and will need to be wary of complacency.
Plemići are in much better form heading into Thursday's game, having won four of their last five games, but could see defeat against a much stronger side this week.
