Preview: Dynamo Kiev vs. Dinamo Zagreb

Both of these sides have struggled to pick up positive results in European matches during recent seasons.

Blokhin is expected to include former Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Niko Kranjcar in his starting lineup.

Visiting Dinamo Zagreb have lost nine out their last 10 outings in the Champions League.

Sixteen-year-old Alen Halilovic could be included in the side following his goalscoring impact at the weekend.
