Recall that earlier, in preparation for the new season, Dynamo had already played five test matches (2 wins, 2 draws, 1 loss, the difference between goals scored and conceded - 4: 4): a draw with Yverdon-Sport - 1: 1, a 0-2 loss to Lausanne, a 1-0 win over Sion, a 0-0 draw with Young Boys and finally a 2-1 win over Lucerne. All sparring partners of the White-Blues represented Switzerland.
As for Dynamo's rival in today's matches, Lyon finished the last French championship in 8th place (17 wins, 11 draws, 10 losses, the goal difference was 66:51).
Lyon is a 7-time French champion (the last triumph was in the 2007/08 season), a 5-time winner of the French Cup, and an 8-time winner of the French Super Cup. In Europe, the rival from Kiev has the only success - winning the Intertoto Cup in 1997.
We add that earlier the paths of Dynamo and Lyon crossed only once, when the teams were in the same group of the Europa League-2006/07. Then in both matches the victory was celebrated by the French team - 3:0 in Kyiv and 1:0 in Lyon.
