Dyn. Kyiv (Ukr) vs AZ Alkmaar (Ned) Prediction & Betting tips
Big money beckons. The UEFA Champions League group stage is a huge source of income for the participants. Especially for smaller clubs that do not regularly move into the premier class, the entry fee would be a blessing. Dynamo Kiev and AZ Alkmaar are two steps away from the group matches.
On Tuesday, both clubs will meet in the Ukrainian capital in the third qualifying round. The winner will have to play against KAA Gent or Rapid Vienna in the playoffs. An old rule says never to take the second step before the first and therefore the focus is on the duel on Tuesday in Kiev.
The Ukrainian runner-up is considered by the best bookmakers to be the favorite for advancement. This is due to the home right, but also because Mircea Lucescu’s team is already deeper in the season, including match practice. That is why the prognosis of the betting providers between Dynamo Kiev and Alkmaar is in the direction of a home win.
The Dutch have what it takes to win this match, but AZ has not yet really made it into this new season. Against this background, a tip on the home side appears to be the better choice between Dynamo Kiev and Alkmaar, although it is conceivable that it will be a very tight box.
Dynamo Kiev:
Mircea Lucescu has earned an excellent reputation in the Ukraine through his many years of building Shakhtar Donetsk into a top team. Now he should repeat this work at the traditional Dynamo Kiev club. That will take time, but moving into the group stage of the premier class would at least be a very important step in this direction.
The Ukrainians made a very good start to the new season. The first title has already been wrapped up with a convincing victory in the Ukrainian Supercup against Donetsk. Overall, Kiev has not yet lost in the three competitive games of the season. In the Premier League table, after four points from two games, they are in second place.
Last weekend, however, there was a small setback when Desna only parted ways with a goalless draw at home. Nevertheless, lower odds on a home win will be offered on Tuesday between Dynamo Kiev and Alkmaar. It could be that we will continue to report on the Ukrainians in our Champions League tips.
In terms of personnel, things are looking very good for Mircea Lucescu. Kiev had to swallow a bitter pill at the weekend when right-back Oleksandr Tymchuk injured his adductor area and can only watch against Alkmaar. This means that Tymchuk is the only failure because Dynamo has to complain.
Alkmaar:
AZ Alkmaar had a cold start to the season. In the Eredivisie, although the first game day was played on the weekend, Arne Slot’s team is still without a match. In the second qualifying round for the Champions League, however, the Dutch had to play a game and were almost eliminated.
At home they were down 1-0 against Viktoria Pilsen until the fifth minute of stoppage time, before Teun Koopmeiers forced extra time with a penalty. In this Albert Gudmundsson was the match winner with a double pack. This third round is a gift for Alkmaar because they were almost eliminated.
Playing away in Ukraine is a completely different number than playing at home against Pilsen. We therefore share the assessment of the betting shops tested by the betting base and, between Dynamo Kiev and Alkmaar, we tend to predict a victory for the Ukrainians.
In terms of personnel, however, things are looking very good for the Dutch. With the exception of the young Jeremy Helmer and Pantelis Chatzidiakos, Arne Slot has everyone on board.
Nevertheless, the coach knows what a difficult task awaits him on Tuesday. He saw Dynamo Kiev in the Ukrainian Supercup and was quite impressed by it.
