Dynamo Kyiv welcomes PAOK to the UEFA Europa League on July 23, 2026, with the Ukrainian giants in scintillating form. Boasting a remarkable 75% win rate this season (6W 1D 1L) and an impeccable five consecutive victories in their last five outings, Dynamo have netted 22 goals while conceding just eight, showcasing both offensive prowess and defensive solidity. Their home advantage will undoubtedly be a significant factor.
PAOK, in contrast, arrives with a more turbulent record. Their 36% win rate (5W 4D 5L) reflects an inconsistent campaign, and their recent form – just one win, one draw, and three losses from their last five matches – highlights their struggles. While they have scored a respectable 24 goals, the 18 conceded point to defensive vulnerabilities that Dynamo Kyiv will look to exploit. The key narrative here is whether PAOK can contain a rampant Dynamo side and find their own attacking rhythm against a formidable opponent. Watch for Dynamo's quick transitions and PAOK's resilience under pressure.
