Dynamo Kyiv take on the visitors Fenerbahce in the first leg of quarterfinals of UEFA Champions League qualification. The match will be played on Wednesday, July 20th at Stadion Miejski al. Unii Lubelskiej 2 (Lodz).
Dynamo Kyiv found themselves in a unique, extremely difficult situation. The Blue and White last played an official match more than six months ago, in December 2021. All football was supposed to return to Ukraine at the end of winter, but because of the unprovoked war, started by Russia. However, they still organized a number of friendlies. And, judging by the June matches of the Ukrainian national team (and Dynamo is now clearly a base club there), it turns out to demonstrate good conditions. And, unlike Shakhtar, they formed the backbone of his graduates with a Ukrainian passport, so that the base did not run away. And even Lucescu decided to stay with the club. But, perhaps, only the start in the Champions League will demonstrate the real level of the team.

Fenerbahce is clearly determined to achieve a lot this season. The "Canaries" - one of the main giants of Turkish football. But there are reservations: the last, 19th title was taken back in 2014. In general, the result of the last draw against this background was not bad, it turned out to climb to the 2nd place - and it would hardly have been higher if Trabzonspor played so well that they clinched the championship trophy ahead of schedule. But, of course, in Istanbul they want more, and in the offseason, Jorge Jesus was lured to the post of head coach. He did not have good results after return to Benfica, but in general he is an experienced and quite successful mentor. There are also curious newcomers, such as Bruma and Lincoln. Yes, there are losses that are impressive by name, such as Ozil and Tufan. But in reality, it still looks like a dumping of ballast.
So far, Dynamo have played successfully in Fenerbahce. Both in 2006 and in 2008, the Ukrainians invariably won at home and took draws on the road. But then the “blue and white” had such an important trump card as the game in Kyiv. Now they are the hosts of the arena only formally. The odds are slightly in favor of the visitors. But we recommend betting on the neutral option with "over 2.5 goals".
Prediction for the match: Over 2.5 scored goals.
