As already reported, today, July 21, the draw for the 3rd qualifying round of the Champions League will take place (starting at 13:00 Kyiv time), which will, among other things, determine a possible opponent for Kyiv’s "Dynamo" if Alexander Shovkovskiy’s team advances to this stage of the tournament.
Initially, the baskets of "seeded" and "unseeded" for this draw consisted of six pairs from the 2nd qualifying round of the Champions League, but today UEFA traditionally divided the participants of the third qualifying round of the tournament into two groups, in each of which the number of "seeded" and "unseeded" teams respectively decreased by half.
Kyiv’s "Dynamo" was placed in group 2, where the seeding looks like this
