Shakhtar Donetsk vs Dyn. Kyiv Prediction & Betting tips
After the kick-off for the new season in Ukraine last weekend, the Supercup is on the program this week. This is the absolute top game in Ukrainian club football. Series champion Shakhtar Donetsk receives capital club Dynamo Kiev.
A game that is already enormously explosive. This time the duel between the two top teams will be even more explosive. Mircea Lucescu, longtime Donetsk trainer, has been working for arch rivals for a few weeks. For this he received a lot of criticism, with a title win he would get at least a few fans on his side.
In the betting base odds comparison, however, it can be seen that the master is seen as the clear favorite. The game starts on Tuesday evening at 19:30 p.m.
Shakhtar Donetsk:
The Ukrainian-Brazilian connection of head coach Luis Castro became known to the masses in the last few days. The Europa League semi-finals were reached with strong performances. Although the 5-0 defeat against Inter Milan was clear, the conclusion about the international season is extremely positive.
Internationally, the UEFA Cup victory in 2009 remains the greatest success in the club’s history; nationally, the trophy cabinet is replenished almost annually with the championship. In the meantime, 13 titles have been won in the Ukrainian league, and the club was only able to celebrate its first title win in 2002. In recent years the team has become the absolute number one.
The dominance is underlined when looking at the table for the 2019/20 season. After completing the championship round, the team had no less than 23 points (!) Ahead of Dynamo Kiev. An absolute class difference could not be dismissed out of hand.
The 0: 5 against Inter Milan also showed the high technical quality the Ukrainians have. Given the composition of the squad (almost half of the squad consists of Brazilians) this is not really surprising. The full-backs always go forward, the wingers look for the way to the center to create danger and confusion for the opponent.
Correspondingly, successful games are to be expected from the Castro-Elf. In 2019/20, an average of 3.31 goals were scored in games with Shakhtar participation. 20 of the 32 league games ended with an over 2.5, in 15 games there were hits on both sides.
Dynamo Kiev:
With 15 championships Dynamo Kiev is still the most successful club team in Ukraine, but emphasis must be placed on “still”, because in recent years the difference in quality could not be dismissed out of hand. The capital’s team won their last title in the 2015/16 season.
The above-mentioned 23 points behind the arch-rivals have left their mark and this summer led to the separation from head coach Oleksiy Mykhaylchenko (39 games, an average of 1.85 points).
When the successor was announced, the club management had to put up with a lot of criticism. Nobody less than the 75-year-old (!) Mircea Lucescu was presented. Proud age is not the problem with the former coach of the Turkish national team, it is rather his past with Shakhtar Donetsk.
Just four days after signing the contract, Lucescu wanted to resign because of ultra-hatred, but President Igor Surkis moved him to resign. This means that the Romanian will train arch rivals for the third time in his career (Galatasaray / Besiktas and Dinamo / Rapid Bucharest).
The fact is that Lucescu can only silence the critics with success. After a perfectly acceptable preparation, the first competitive game was on the program last weekend. The reigning runner-up had no problem against Olimpik Donetsk and won 4: 1.
Above all, the offensive was able to convince, although top star Tsygankov sat on the bench for 75 minutes. Many goals can also be expected in Kiev. In 2019/20, 21 of the 32 games ended with an over 2.5. Due to the strong offensive performances on Tuesday between Shakhtar Donetsk and Dynamo Kiev, the tip on both teams’ goals is also a lucrative option.
