Dynamo Kyiv vs Club Brugge
In the middle of this week Dynamo Kyiv will return to the UCL play-offs to face Club Brugge. They must win a minimum score of 2-0 to advance to the next round. The match was broadcast Wednesday (8/14) early morning live from NSC Olimpiyskiy.
Yes, Dynamo Kyiv had to work extra hard after failing to steal a goal in the first leg and letting Club Brugge advance through a Hans Vanaken penalty. That means they have to maximize their chances of playing at NSC even though they had just lost 1-2 to Shakhtar Donetsk on Saturday (10/8) which was the first home match of the season in the Ukrainian League.
Club Brugge is predicted to be a difficult opponent after winning again with a score of 0-2, this time in the Belgian League continued against Oostende on Saturday (8/10). It was a good start before making an inaugural visit to the NSC because they both played away, even helping them close all three opening matches this month with a win without conceding.
That means Dynamo Kyiv must immediately move on from bad trends in order to appear loose at tomorrow’s match. The challenge will be even harder if Club Brugge appear defensive because it only requires a draw, but the host is predicted to still be able to win because it appears on home turf.
