On Tuesday, Dynamo held a training session on the field of the Shukru Saracoglu stadium, and before the start of this session, Dynamo head coach Mircea Lucescu talked to reporters as part of a routine press conference. The Kiev mentor noted that he was expecting a completely different game compared to the first match, but at the same time expressed confidence that none of the teams would have a clear advantage.
As for Fenerbahce, the Istanbul team also has one personnel loss before the return match: defender Serdar Aziz suffered a muscle tear in the first match against Dynamo and was out of action for a rather long period.
In addition to Lucescu, Fenerbahce head coach Jorge Jesus also gave a pre-match press conference on Tuesday. He noted the skillful game of Dynamo on counterattacks, the well-coordinated actions of the White-Blues in defense, as well as the ability of Dynamo to effectively use the small foul tactics, which, according to the mentor, became the main weapon of the Ukrainian team in the first meeting.
