Real have included eight B and C group players to the squad, which made the trip to the Ukraine.
Reyes, Guti, Raul, Emerson, Cannarvaro, Helguera, Ramos and Pavon are amongst those left in Spain, either due to injury, suspension or simply rested.
Real will finish second in the group regardless of what happens today and have a crucial and difficult trip to Seville at the weekend, which must take priority.
Kiev have nothing but pride and prize money to play for, plus of course the scalp of the most famous club in the world.In the reverse fixture, they created a host of chances, but converted only one.
The weather in Kiev will not be as bad as reported on some sites, forecast is predicted to be at, or around, zero come kick off. Nightime temperatures in Madrid are not much higher at present.
Guess this all boils down to attitude, surely Real will struggle to motivate theirselves with so little at stake and such a big game ahead.
The hosts will see this as a chance to redeem their reputation and will never get a better opportunity to beat one of Europe's elite. Very strong at home they have only lost 3 of their last 68 home league matches, winning 57.
I am going to take Dynamo on the level ball asian handicap, but the straight win odds of 2.60 available with a couple of companies, Expekt for example, are very wothwhile taking and are unlikely to last.
4 points Dynamo Kiev level ball asian line 1.90.
Good Luck.
