Dynamo Kyiv vs Ferencvaros Prediction
With nothing else left to play for, both sides will give their all to ensure that they are still playing continental football early next year.
Dynamo Kyiv are the traditionally better side, with more pedigree and experience in Europe, and an end to their continental sojourn in December would be considered a disaster.
The hosts boast a good record on their own turf, but will have their work cut out against a Ferencvaros side with nothing to lose.
The Hungarian champions are capable of getting the job done but ultimately, Dynamo Kyiv's pedigree and experience should see them through.
Prediction: Dynamo Kyiv 2-1 Ferencvaros
