In the second game of the Guatemalan League this year Dinamo Batumi was asked to accept the challenge of Torpedo Kutaisi at the Batumis Dinamos Stadium. Bad results in the opening game are expected not to overshadow the host’s appearance so they can immediately reach the first point.
Dinamo Batumi started the journey this season with a visit to Saburtalo headquarters on Friday (1/3) and had to go home empty-handed after being silenced by Ognjen Rolovic’s single goal.
Dinamo Batumi was a promotion team from Division 2 after last season managed to win the championship. At that time they played 18 times as hosts with 13 wins, 3 draws, and only lost 2 times. The aggregate goal was also very healthy after scoring 38 goals and conceding just 11 times.
Meanwhile, Torpedo Kutaisi managed to marry a title between the Georgia Cup and the Super Cup last season. In fact, they also opened this season’s campaign with a victory over Sioni, last season’s league champions, Saturday (2/3). This time they had to wait for Tornike Kapanadze’s goal to be saved on 76 minutes to ensure a dramatic victory, 3-2.
Torpedo Kutaisi was runner-up in the Georgia League. However, their position goes down to number 4 if we only take away records with 9 wins, 5 draws and 4 defeats. Their aggregate goals were quite healthy after stealing 27 goals and only missed 10 times.
Two seasons ago Dinamo Batumi also received a promotional ticket and met Torpedo Kutaisi up to 4 times. However, they only became a goal bar with an aggregate 11-1.
Our Prediction: 2
Odds: 2.00
