UEFA Champions League, KO: 20:00 Aug 27, 2024, Red Bull Arena
Our prediction for this Champions League match:
Salzburg will be aiming to clinch their spot in the Champions League group stages when they welcome Dynamo Kyiv to their Red Bull Arena on Tuesday evening. The Red Bulls defeated Dynamo 2-0 in the first leg, meaning that they are with one foot in the group stages, but boss Pepijn Lijnders must warn his men against complacency. Aleksa Terzic limped off with injury in the first leg, with fellow defender Ignace Van der Brempt likely to step up.
The Ukrainians, on the other hand, face an uphill task in the return leg. As Dynamo have no other option but to adopt an attack-minded approach in the reverse fixture, we predict that Salzburg are going to seal the triumph on the break. The likes of Maksym Dyachuk, Matvii Ponomarenko, and Volodymyr Shepelev have been struggling with injuries of late, speaking of the visiting team.
How the bookies view it: Salzburg to triumph
RB Salzburg have the upper hand among the bookies and are priced at 8/15 by 646jili to claim the win. A victory for Dynamo Kiev is valued at 4/1 by 646jili, who is also offering odds of 100/30 for a draw.
Head to head: Only one previous meeting
There has been only one previous meeting between RB Salzburg and Dynamo Kiev with the Austrians claiming a 2-0 victory in the first leg.
Players to watch: Nene to strike again
Nene is having a fine start to the season and has scored three goals across all competitions so far. The forward was on target in the first leg. And is priced at 8/5 by 646jili to get on the score sheet once again.
RB Salzburg will be looking to channel their defensive display from the first leg. And should target another shutout on Tuesday. Samson Baidoo and Kamil Piatowski should continue in defence. And can lead the Austrians to a clean sheet at 7/5 with 188jili.
Probable line-ups
RB Salzburg are likely to stick with much of the team that started the first leg with Nene. Oscar Gloukh and Moussa Yeo featuring in attack. Baidoo and Piatowski should maintain their partnership in defence.
Andriy Yarmolenko is set to keep his place in attack for Dynamo Kiev alongside Vladyslav Kabaiev and Vladyslav Vanat. Denys Popov should continue at the heart of the defence.
RB Salzburg: Blaswich, Dedic, Baidoo, Piatowski, Van der Brempt, Bidstrup, Gourna-Douath, Kjaegaard, Nene, Gloukh, Yeo
Dynamo Kiev: Bushchan, Dubinchak, Mykhavko, Popov, Karavaiev, Brazhko, Shaparenko, Pikhalionok, Yarmolenko, Kabaiev, Vanat
Salzburg vs Dynamo Kyiv Prediction
Salzburg have a priceless 2-0 lead when they welcome Dynamo Kiev for the second leg of the Champions League playoff on Tuesday.
The Red Bulls have been in stunning form at the start of this season having won 6 and drawn 1 of the 7 games played across all competitions.
Dynamo had an equally good start to the season up until last midweek as they won 5 and drew 1 of the 6 games. Last week’s defeat to Salzburg was their first of the season.
