Dinamo Tbilisi Preview – Can Dinamo Tbilisi transfer league form into Euro competition?
Wednesday’s hosts, Dinamo Tbilisi, have once again made another solid start to their domestic top flight campaign as they occupy 2nd place and just a point behind the league leaders, Dinamo Batumi, in the Georgian Erovnuli Liga as Tbilisi chase an 18th league title this term.
Dinamo Tbilisi will be switching their attention though to this Champions League tie against Albanian outfit, Tirana, as the hosts will be keen to progress through the qualifying rounds and into the financially lucrative group stages of this competition, but even if they don’t get to the group stage, Tbilisi will be looking to enter the Europa League in the later knockout rounds.
Form and results at home have been pretty solid for some time for Dinamo Tbilisi as they’ve suffered just three defeats from their last 20 matches in all competitions, and in their only previous meeting at home against Tirana, Dinamo Tbilisi ran out 3-0 winners back in 2003.
Tirana Preview – Can Tirana carry domestic momentum into CL clash?
FK Tirana secured the Albanian Superliga title recently at the end of July by a four-point margin over runners-up, Kukesi, which earned them a place in this season’s 1st qualifying round of the Champions League, but they face a tough one-legged encounter against the Georgian champions, Dinamo Tbilisi, on Wednesday evening.
Tirana won 21 of their 36 matches on their way to winning the domestic top flight title but they’ll head into this 1st qualifying round tie in the Champions League having managed to win just two of their last eight matches overall in all competitions.
Back-to-back home wins in the Albanian Cup and Superliga against Bylis and Flamurtari respectively have been outweighed by four defeats within this sequence to Bylis (cup), Kukesi, Laci and Teuta Durres (cup), so the visitors aren’t in the best of nick ahead of this important clash.
