Slovan Bratislava will face a rematch of the first round of the Champions League on Wednesday as Dinamo Batumi awaits them on hot Georgian soil. What to expect from the match and what to bet on?
Dinamo Batumi won the Georgian league by five points ahead of Dinamo Tbilisi, with the title already assured three rounds before the end. Football in Georgia is on the rise, which is also evident in the Nations League and after all, even a draw at Slovan is an achievement.
On the other hand, Slovan disappointed a week ago, despite bringing in some big names in the summer, they were no better against Batumi. Moreover, it won only one of its five preliminary matches, losing to Lišni and drawing with Zbrojovka Brno.
The star of the home team is Flamarion, the Brazilian forward scored 14 times and assisted seven times last season. Offensive midfielder Vladimer Mamukhashvili has scored five goals and assisted on three others.
In the visitors’ jersey, it was Andre Green who scored fifteen times, the talented English winger and youth international. Nigerian striker Ezekiel Henty made his way through all competitions, scoring fourteen times and assisting three times.
Batumi rely on a goal scoring attack, averaging over two goals per game in the league and have the best of any team.
Slovan also averaged over two goals per game and had the best offense in the league, but on the other hand, they scored more than once in only one of their last five games.
Considering Slovan’s sound summer signings and the experience of its players in similar matches, I think Slovan will advance.
