Dynamo Kiev take on the visitors Young Boys at “NSC Olimpiyskiy Stadium” in the first-leg match of the Qualification semi-final of the UEFA Champions League 2017/2018. The game will be played in Kiev on Wednesday, July 26th.
Dynamo Kiev occupied the second place in last season’s Ukrainian Pari-Match League, having lost the gold medals and the pass to the Group stage of the UEFA Champions League to Shakhtar Donetsk. The Kievers have played already three official clashes in this season: the team was beaten by Shakhtar Donetsk in the Super Cup with 0:2 scoreline while got two wins in the Premier League: vs. Chornomorets Odessa 2:1 and vs. Shakhtar Donetsk 1:0. In summer the club’s management has changed the head-coach: Serhiy Rebrov was replaced by Aleksandr Khatskevich. And that Saturday triumph over “Hirnyky” is wonderful evidence that the management made the right decision, besides, the side from Kiev comes up to the Eurocup’s battle in high spirit.

Similar to Dynamo Kiev, in previous season Young Boys also settled on the second position in the Swiss Super League having lost the title to Basel. And once again alike to the team from Kiev, last weekend “The Boys” entered the Swiss elite division’s new season with 2:0 victory over the reigning champion. It means that the Swiss stay in a great competitive form and nice mood.
The upcoming battle will open the head-to-heads history between Dynamo Kiev and Young Boys. The Kievers focus on the UEFA Champions League: the head-coach replacement and tactical shift were made for the sake of participation in the Group stage and receiving substantial bonuses. The hosts of the Play Offs’ encounter should tend to get a victory despite the rival’s status and level, thus, I believe that Dynamo Kiev will win.
Prediction for the match: Dynamo Kiev to win.
