In the first match of the UEFA Champions League play-off round, Ghent will face Dynamo Kiev at home. The tough fight will start at 20:00.
Gent :
Gent did not start the season very well in the Belgian League. Having lost consecutive weeks in the first weeks and passing the first 3 weeks without points, Ghent has found a little morale especially in the last matches. They won their 2nd victory in the Belgian League this season, winning 1-0 on the road to Mouscron last week. The students of Laszlo Bölöni, who managed to beat the Austrian team Rapid Wien 2-1 in the third qualifying round of the Champions League, became the rival of Dynamo Kiev in the play-off round.
Dyn. Kyiv :
As we know at Dynamo Kiev, Romanian coach Mircea Lucscu was appointed as the coach. They started the season well and did well in both the Ukrainian League and the Champions League, but tension between the fans and Mircea Lucescu continues. Dynamo Kiev’s hooligan sides do not want Lucescu to stay on the team. The reason is the statements he made about Dynamo Kiev while working Shakhtar Donetsk in recent years. The Ukrainian representative won 2-0 against Az Alkmaar in the previous round and became Gent’s opponent in the play off round.
It’s a tough match for side betting. I think Dynamo Kiev can score this away. An advantageous score is essential for the second leg. I expect goals from both teams.
PREDICTION: Under 2,5 goals @ 1,78
