Pavel Nedved, the Juventus vice-president and club legend, says it will be difficult for the team when they face Kyiv, especially in winter.
“Dynamo Kyiv are a very solid team, with an experienced coach like [Mircea] Lucescu who made history at Shakhtar, and if we have to go to Ukraine in the winter," Nedved said.
"It will be an added difficulty. The Hungarians are unknown, they are not the usual Champions opponents, but knowing Hungarian football.
"They will certainly have a lot of talent and we will have to be careful, in all matches: it is always the Champions League and any team can put you in difficulty.”
The last meeting between Kyiv and Juventus in a competitive match was on 13 November 2002.
Juventus secured a 2-1 victory over Kyiv in a Champions League match which was played in Ukraine.
