Dynamo Kyiv vs. Fenerbahce Istanbul: Preview and betting tips

Dynamo Kiev will have their first tough game in a quarter of a year on Wednesday. They will welcome Fenerbahce Istanbul at home in the second round of the Champions League. What to expect from the match and what to bet on?

Dynamo Kyiv have invited several famous clubs for their summer preparation, losing and winning once against Lyon, drawing with Young Boys Bern and falling to Antwerp. In any case, its players shone with good performances in the World Cup barrage in June.

Prague Slavia has fresh experience with Fenerbahce and, as we could see, it is definitely not the team that a few years ago was rolling one opponent after another. It lost only once in the preparation, but it had much weaker opponents.

Already at the age of twenty-three, Viktor Tsygankov can be considered a long-time mainstay of the home team, scoring eleven times and assisting three times last season. Offensive midfielder Vitaliy Buyalskyi scored nine goals and assisted on five.

Miha Zajc has been dragging the guests, the Slovenian national midfielder has opened the net nine times and assisted four times. Serdar Dursun, the main offensive weapon and Turkish international, scored fifteen goals and assisted on two others.

Kiev relies on a solid defense, getting the fewest goals, only nine, in eighteen rounds of the Ukrainian league last season. It has scored more than once in only two of its last six preliminary matches.

Fenerbahce, on the other hand, concentrates its strength on attack, as Slavia found out in February. It scored more than one goal in six out of seven games in the preparation.

Considering the defensive problems Fenerbahce had in Europe last year, I think Dynamo’s defensive quality will win out.
