Gent vs Dynamo Kiev Predictions, Tips & Predictions

Gent vs Dynamo Kiev
2024/21 Champions League Qualifiers (play-off round)
Date: Wednesday, September 23, 2024
Starts at 20pm UK
Location: GHELAMCO Arena, Gent.

After a disastrous start to the First Division A, Gent will welcome Dinamo Kiev in a less than happy mood in the UEFA Champions League playoff round.

It's been five years since they took part in the group stage of Europe's most elite football competition, four years since their last attempt at qualifying.

Dynamo Kiev have been playing very inconsistently lately, so predicting the winner at full time will be a tough challenge.

The punters have given the home team a slight advantage, at least as far as the first leg is concerned, and it cost 2,40 to gain some sort of advantage before traveling to Ukraine.

Gent v Dynamo Kiev, head to head

There have been two previous h2h meetings between these two teams. That was ten years ago, also in UEFA Champions League qualifying. Dynamo Kyiv completely demolished the Belgian national team, winning both games 6-1 on aggregate.

Gent vs Dynamo Kiev Prediction

When it comes to their first European start, Gent looked pretty good. They were much better opponents on the field than Rapid Wien, taking a comfortable 2-0 lead through Niklas Dorsch and Roman Yaremchuk. The defense slipped in the 93rd minute and allowed the Austrians to score.

Gent's statistics in the domestic league are disastrous in the first two months. They amassed just six points opening six games, losing four.

It's been years since Gent had such poor statistics in terms of efficiency (five goals in six games). However, form is at an all-time high: last weekend, the Chiefs defeated Excel Mouscron 1-0 away from home.

Dynamo Kyiv and their supporters must feel lucky after their game against AZ Alkmaar. The Dutch team completely overcame the Ukrainians, created many opportunities, but failed to capitalize on their dominance. Dinamo scored two goals in two counterattacks.

We didn't like his performance at all in that game, so we're going to try hard and try to win at home.

Betting tips for Gent vs Dynamo Kiev
