Gent (Bel) vs Dyn. Kyiv (Ukr) Prediction & Betting tips
AA Gent is only two games away from Champions League football. It remains to be seen whether the club has anything to do there at all. Administrative chaos is therefore more discussed than the field game. Gent practiced 1-1 against AZ recently, but Dynamo Kiev won 2-0 against AZ last round. Does Ghent have a chance?
Gent:
It was an achievement in itself for KAA Gent chairman Ivan De Witte. He appointed former Royal Antwerp trainer László Bölöni as the new trainer of Ghent. The opposition of the supporters was enough for the chairman to expel him after only 25 days. You’d say it’s a bit short-sighted to relieve him of his position so quickly, but the trainer before that – Jess Thorup – was fired after just two rounds of play this season. The previous season is already overshadowed by the mediocre start to the season. Wim de Decker takes over with Peter Balette by his side. However, it will be a difficult job, as the departure of Jonathan David has left a great void after his departure from East Flanders.
Only six points were taken in the first six rounds of play. Van Eupen, Royal Antwerp, Kortrijk and Sint-Truiden were lost. That put De Buffalo’s in a dire position, namely twelfth in the rankings. Since the 38-year-old assistant coach took over the helm, he has achieved a profit percentage of 100% in two games. It was not expected otherwise against Royal Mouscron, but that he managed to keep his team in the running for a Champions League ticket was at least worth mentioning. Rapid Wien left Ghelamco Arena beautifully. Thanks to goals from Niklas Dorsch and Roman Yaremchuk, they won 2-1. Trainer De Decker is afraid that Sven Kums, Laurent Depoitre and Vadis Odjidja may not be there on Wednesday evening.
Dynamo Kiev:
The 15-time Ukrainian champion won the national cup and the Super Cup last season. With Shakhtar Donetsk as a tough, strong opponent, these second place prizes seem to be the highest attainable for Dynamo Kiev. Far too many points were spilled to really make a fist against the Miners. Dynamo Kiev was eliminated in the 3rd qualifying round of the Champions League last season when the Belgian Club Brugge was scheduled. There was a loss in the Jan-Breydel-Stadium and in Kiev it did not come further than a draw. As a result, they had to participate in the Europa League. As four of the six games ended in a draw in the group, this adventure soon ended.
This season, Mircea Lucescu’s team got off the starting blocks, scoring seven points in the first three rounds. His selection beat Olimpik Donetsk and PFK Lviv. Against Desna, after a rain of chances, it was 0-0. The match where Dynamo Kiev will undoubtedly have the best feeling is the match against AZ. The Ukrainians left the initiative to the Dutch and simply allowed the opportunities. AZ even seemed to have the best chance in the first half, but shortly after the break they received a quick goal against Gerson Rodrigues. Then AZ had to hunt to have a chance to win a place in the fourth qualifying round, but a few minutes before the end, Mykola Shaparenko nodded the ball into the goal, which meant that AZ finally got the lid on the nose.
