Dinamo Minsk v Guingamp background

Form guide
• Dinamo Minsk have conceded nine goals in Group K – more than any other side in the group stage.

• Dinamo's 3-0 home loss to ACF Fiorentina last time out matched the margin of their worst previous UEFA home result – a 4-1 UEFA Cup qualifying loss to PFC CSKA Moskva in 2002.

• Dinamo won all three of their qualifying home games this season without conceding.

• Guingamp have not won away in six European contests (D1 L5); their only UEFA away victory to date was a 3-1 success at FC Kolkheti Poti in the 1996 UEFA Intertoto Cup.

Trivia and links

The coaches
• Vladimir Zhuravel won six national titles as a player during two spells with Dinamo, as well as 11 caps for Belarus.
