LiontipsDynamo Kyiv vs Viktoria Plzen. Europa League match prediction and bets
Command Analysis
Current form
Dynamo Kyiv finished the last season of the Ukrainian Premier League in second place and earned the right to play in the qualifying round of the Champions League. First, the team managed to confidently beat Serbian Partizan (3:0, 6:2), then knocked out the vice-champion of Scotland, Rangers (1:1, 2:0) from the tournament. The Kyiv team stumbled only against Austrian Red Bull Salzburg (0:2, 1:1), after which they found themselves in the Europa League.
In this tournament, Dynamo have been extremely unsuccessful so far. The capital team has suffered four defeats in a row, without scoring a single goal. Oddly enough, only the Italian Roma managed to put up a fight. In this match, only one goal was scored - a penalty by Artem Dovbyk, a pupil of Ukrainian football. At the same time, Oleksandr Shovkovskiy charges were unable to put up a fight with their lesser opponents - Lazio (0:3), Hoffenheim (0:2) and Ferencvaros (0:4).
The team is doing well in the Ukrainian championship so far - first place in the table and two points ahead of Oleksandria. At the same time, the current champion, Shakhtar, is already six points behind.
Disqualifications and injuries
Oleksandr Pikhalenok will not play due to injury, and Vladislav Dubinchak will miss the match due to a red card. Andriy Yarmolenko appearance on the field is questionable.
Interesting trends for betting
- The hosts have had red cards in two of their last three matches
- The team has not scored a single goal in the Europa League
Approximate lineup: Bushchan - Karavaev, Bilovar, Mikhavko, Vivcharenko - Buyalsky, Brazhko, Shaparenko - Kabaev, Vanat, Voloshin
Current form
Viktoria is already an experienced fighter in European cups, so the Czech team is performing quite well. At the moment, Plzen is in 16th place out of 36 in the tournament table and is in the playoff zone. The team is three points behind a place in the top 8, which gives a ticket straight to the 1/8 finals. It is worth noting that in the qualifying stages, the Czech team has already managed to defeat one team from Ukraine - Kryvbas from Krivoy Rog (2:1, 1:0). After that, the Scottish Hearts were defeated (1:0, 1:0).
Having easily advanced to the main draw, the visitors continued their confident performance. In the very first round, the club avoided defeat in an away game with Frankfurt Eintracht (3:3), scoring two goals at once at the end of the match. In the next round, they failed to beat Bulgaria Ludogorets (0:0). Viktoria could have lost, but the opponent failed to convert a penalty. Then came the third draw in a row - with Greek PAOK (2:2). Here, the Czechs were already leading 2:0 after the first half, but conceded two goals at the end. Only in the fourth round did they manage to achieve their first victory - on their home field, the club from Pilsen beat the rather formidable Real Sociedad (2:1).
Disqualifications and injuries
Prince Kwabena Adu will not play due to visa issues. Rafiu Durosinmi and Jan Sikora are injured. Sheik Sene is not registered for the tournament.
Interesting trends for betting
- The team won three games in a row
- None of the last six matches of the visitors ended in a draw
Estimated lineup: Jedlicka - Emelka, Markovic, Paluska - Kadu, Schulz, Kalvach, Cherv, Pavel - Jirka, Vasulin

9.00Bet At least one team will not score
This bet has played in three of the last four away matches
1.98Bet Number 1 in the final score

1.60Tip and bets
The nominal hosts look very weak on the European stage this season, while the visitors are a solid mid-table team and take points even from teams from top leagues. Most likely, Dynamo will not be able to win their first victory in Hamburg, but the opponent is in excellent shape and is going to extend their unbeaten streak in the Europa League.
Our prediction is Asian handicap (0) on Victoria for 2.05
Bet on total
The hosts have not scored a single goal in the Europa League and are unlikely to have a productive match with Viktoria. The visitors themselves also rarely crush their opponents and will probably play with an eye on defense. Most likely, the club from Plzen will score one or two goals and then calmly bring the match to victory.
Our prediction is total under 2.5 goals for 1.83
Bet on corners
Most likely, the opponents will build the game from defense. With such a style of play, it is difficult to expect a large number of corners. We suggest betting on the total under this indicator.
Our prediction is under 9.5 corners for 1.85
