AJAX VS DYN.KYIV PREVIEW & PREDICTION

Wednesday evening, at 20:00, Ajax Amsterdam plays a big game on his own against Dinamo Kiev in the first hand of the UEFA Champions League play-off. The hosts have played charming lately and although they have significant batch problems, they are favorites to take a lead after the game in the Netherlands. Ajax’s best compartment is the attack, while Dinamo Kiev has 4 wins with 1-0 in the first 4 stages of the Ukrainian league!

Ajax looks well under the command of Erik Ten Hag, who has set up an efficient soccer machine, which he often writes and builds in speed. “Lancierii” showed very well in the disputes with Sturm Graz and Standard Liege in the UCL qualifiers, and the qualifiers were achieved in step. The red-white club made a clever move by selling Justin Kluivert to AS Roma, managing with funds raised to bring Daley Blind from Manchester United, but also Dusan Tadic from Southampton. Tadic already has 3 goals at Ajax and promises more!

Tadic and Huntelaar, the most dangerous attackers in Amsterdam.

In addition, Ajax’s attack is veteran Klaas-Jan Huntelaar, a scorched goalie who produces panic among the match-winning opponents. But there are Ajax batch issues that can not be ignored: Dolberg, Hassane and Veltman are long absent, while El Azzouzi, Neres and Sinkgraven are still in rebound and have little chance to play with Dinamo Kiev. The hosts have a lot and will be interested in seeing how “Ten Hag” will juggle with the youngsters at their disposal. In defensive, Matthijs De Ligt promises to make a new big game in front of an opponent who does not show much in the offensive …

Dinamo Kiev scored just 4 goals in 4 stages in Ukraine (only 1-0 victories against modest rivals) and will not have the young Vladislav Supriaga (18 years old) in this match in Amsterdam. Superstar was courted by big clubs this summer, but chose Dinamo Kiev, who paid 7 million euros in exchange. The Ukrainians look quite predictable in their attack and their defensive is the strong point, as seen in the double hand with Slavia Prague: 1-1 “outside” and 2-0 at home.

In the previous European Cup meeting, Ajax qualified for 1-1 and 2-1 in the 2010 UEFA Champions League. Ajax will dominate the first hand and it will be just a matter of time until he scores. Dinamo Kiev, on the other hand, looks ineffective and will not have many opportunities in front of Ajax, a technical superior.

THE PROBABLE TEAMS

Ajax: Onana – Mazraoui, De Ligt, Blind, Tagliafico – Ziyech, Schone, De Jong – Tadic, Huntelaar, Labyad

Dinamo Kiev: Boyko – Pivaric, Burda, Kadar, Moroziuk – Sydorchuk, Harmash, Buyalskiy – Verbic, Besedin, Tsyganov


PREDICTION: Both teams to score / YES @ 1.93
