Dynamo Kyiv welcome the visitors Chelsea in the Europa League Playoffs – 1/8 Finals. The match will be held on Thursday, March, 14th, at the NSC Olimpiyskiy Stadium (Kiev).
Dynamo Kyiv’s President Igor Surkis keeps up saying that it’s better to enjoy fighting in the Europa League with no embarrassment than compete in the Champions League and be disgracefully knocked out of it (he must be subtly hinting at Shakhtar Dontesk). Actually, this is how Dynamo Kyiv, guided by Alyaksandr Khatskevich, normally face all Europa League contenders. The team were not that bad in the first leg against Chelsea, and the registered score was not too fair, as to us. The Ukrainian side are quite good at home, they are better-knit now, and play well against any opponents in front of their fans. The coming match will provide much support to the hosts, as there is sold-out.

Maurizio Sarri’s men have settled it out yet in the London, so, they now travel to Kiev with half of their main squad. Chelsea feature a crucial match against Everton on Sunday – there is a tight fight in the Premiere League going on, and no top side can allow dropping points these days.
We don’t expect much action on the ‘Blues’’ side – they won’t impose their game and will let the welcoming team play first. Well, we all know how Dynamo play first against solid opponents – they don’t succeed much in this, to be frank. It will be a challenge for the hosts to unlock Chelsea’s defense, while the guests will sluggishly counterattack. Considering all the above, we’re betting on under 2.5 goals under the given great odds.
Prediction for the match: Under 2.5 goals.
