Dyn. Kyiv vs Ajax Prediction & Betting tips
The group stage of the UEFA Champions League will be held on Thursday afternoon at UEFA headquarters in Nyon. Twenty-six teams already have their place in the pots, so only six teams will make the leap over qualifying. The best tickets to get one of these six tickets is Ajax Amsterdam. The reigning Dutch runner-up prevailed in the first leg against Dynamo Kiev 3: 1 and therefore has all the trumps in his own hands. Nevertheless, Ajax should be careful not to underestimate the opponent from the Ukraine, because even in a 2-0 home win Kyiv would still jump on the train to the premier class.
The fact is that Dynamo is under pressure due to the defeat in Amsterdam a week ago. Two goals are a must for Kiev, though coach Khatskevich’s side have rarely won an attack this season. While we do not think it is unlikely that Ajax will take advantage of the available space and even succeed, the guests are not forced to take the initiative.
Dynamo Kiev:
In the run-up to the first leg between Dynamo Kiev and Ajax Amsterdam, odds on betting on getting ahead were still relatively close together. The background was that Kiev was already represented 17 times in the group stage of the UEFA Champions League and the predecessor competition and after one year of abstinence (2017/2018), the third participation in the recent four years. However, the match in Amsterdam did not go according to plan for the Ukrainians, because otherwise the saddle-defensive defense seemed overstrained and unfocused in the first half. Already at halftime it was 1: 3 from the point of view of Khatskevich-Elf, who did not improve the result in the second round, but also did not deteriorate. In the second leg Dynamo Kiev is under pressure and two own goals are the minimum, which must be achieved.
However, this could turn out to be enormously difficult, as in none of the five previous matches in the Ukrainian premjer league did Dynamo make more than one goal. Anyway, bets on the Over 2.5 have so far gone through only in the first leg, even though the Blue and Yellow have already played nine competitive games this season. That the defense can defend better than in the Netherlands, proves the fact that – with the exception of the mentioned first leg – conceded in two games only two goals.
Ajax Amsterdam:
Ajax Amsterdam set great store in this transfer summer to strengthen their own squad with experience. The team of Erik ten Hag in recent years was characterized by youthful carefreeness, she was now in Daley Blind and Dusan Tadic added two veterans to ensure the necessary order on the court. In fact, these personalities are also a reason why we expect a clever appearance of the Dutch on Tuesday evening. Ajax Amsterdam do not feel pressure at all after their 3-1 first-leg win, so they can focus on defending.
The focus will not be on getting an early own goal. Much more will be to keep zero for as long as possible and skilfully save time. Since we can well imagine that Ajax will have the last harmless offense of Dynamo Kiev under control, we hold a relatively scoreless draw (0: 0 or 1: 1) as possible as an away win (0: 1 or 0: 2) , Although the red-whites have scored many goals in the UEFA Champions League qualifying campaign so far, the starting point in Kiev is a completely different one. In addition, the Ukrainian opponent probably has more individual quality, which is why we expect a maximum of two hits for the guests, which would be enough for our tip, if the host without a goal.
