Ex Marseille wing-back Taye Taiwo has admitted that the Europa League clash with Bordeaux on Thursday night will be difficult.

The Nigeria international returned to the Ukrainian capital on Tuesday from Marbella, where Dynamo Kiev had been preparing for the tie against the French team.

Taiwo reckons that weather could be a decisive factor in the outcome of the game billed to be staged at the Olympic Stadium, Kiev.

''Of course, in Kiev colder than in Spain.Do not want to have snow on Thursday, but still we have to make our fans happy. Dynamo long expected a tough match but we are ready,'' Taiwo was quoted as saying by championat.com.

Dynamo Kiev were relegated to the Europa League after they failed to qualify for the knock-out rounds of the Champions League last December.
