Tuesday night brings us the 2nd legs of the 3rd qualifying round in the Champions League and our next preview features a clash between Ukraine side, Dynamo Kiev, and Belgian outfit, Club Brugge, as the betting tips continue at the NSK Olimpijs’kyj.
Dynamo Kiev Prediction – Can Dynamo Kiev bounce back?
After they were handed a 1-0 defeat in Belgium in last week’s 1st leg clash with Club Brugge, Dynamo Kiev find themselves chasing down a 1-goal deficit.
Following on from that defeat was a 2-1 loss at home to Shakhtar Donetsk in the Ukrainian Premier League, so manager Aleksandr Khatskevich will be looking for a reaction here.
The hosts will therefore be desperate to avoid a third defeat on the trot as they prepare for the visit of Club Brugge in Tuesday night’s deciding leg.
There is hope though, as Dynamo Kiev racked up 3 straight wins prior to these recent back-to-back losses.
Wins over Shakhtar Donetsk in the Ukrainian Super Cup along with victories against Karpaty and Lviv, both in the league, prove they can turn it on when needed.
Indeed, Tuesday night’s hosts have suffered just 3 defeats out of their last 21 matches overall in all competitions, which give s them a chance here.
With just 1 defeat out of their last 11 matches on home turf at their NSK Olimpijs’kyj, this also shows their usual steady selves on home soil.
However, they also tend to concede too as 9 of these last 11 home matches have seen both teams scoring as well.
Club Brugge Prediction – Can Club Brugge hold on?
The Belgian visitors are just 90 minutes away from securing their place in the Champions League play-offs as they seek to protect their 1-goal lead in Kiev.
The visitors have been in impressive form of late as they’ve now collected 6 wins on the trot in all competitions, thanks to another win on the weekend.
A 2-0 win away at Oostende in the Belgian First Division A became their 6th victory on the bounce, scoring 17 goals in the process.
Club Brugge also hold a 100% record after the first three weeks of their domestic league season and duly sit top of the Belgian top flight.
Confidence therefore doesn’t look to be in short supply amongst the Club Brugge camp ahead of this trip to face Dynamo Kiev in this return leg.
4 wins out of their last 5 away matches in all competitions should also stand the visitors in good stead as they look to close out this tie.
However, having won just 1 of their last 11 away ties in the Champions League, Club Brugge will be mindful that they’ve only done half a job so far.
Midfielder Vanaken (3 goals) and forward Okereke (4 goals) look the most likely for the visitors.
Key-Facts – Dynamo Kiev v Club Brugge
- 9 of Dynamo Kiev’s last 11 home matches have seen both teams score
- Club Brugge have won just 1 of their last 11 away ties in the Champions League
- Club Brugge have collected 6 wins on the trot in all competitions
Betting Tips Verdict
Dynamo Kiev are now chasing this 2nd leg while Club Brugge are by no means out of the woods yet – we could see both teams scoring here.
