Dinamo Tbilisi vs Astana Prediction: Will the guests be able to give a fight to the favourite?

In the return match of the first qualifying round of the Champions League Dinamo Tbilisi will face Astana at home. The kick-off of the match is on 19 July. A week ago, the teams exchanged results at the Astana Arena and failed to find a winner. Will the guests be able to give a fight to the favourite?

Before meeting with Astana on the road Tbilisi team won the Super Cup of Georgia, beating Dinamo Batumi in a penalty shootout. In the Georgian championship, representatives of the capital are still inferior to rivals from Batumi. Dinamo is only in fourth place in the standings, eight points behind the leader.

Before the match with the Tbilisi club on the European stage, Astana traveled to visit Ordabasy and unsuccessfully played a return semi-final game in the Kazakhstan Cup. The reigning champion of the country did not hold an advantage of one goal and lost in extra time response - 0:2. It should be emphasized that Astana is also behind Ordabasy in the Kazakhstani championship - second place and one point behind.

The Tbilisi team made progress in the last stretch. Winning the Super Cup of Georgia has added confidence to the players; they are considered favorites for the return leg. However, meeting with the champion of Kazakhstan will not be easy. We expect the return match to be more effective — a high probability of a quick goal and the game transition in an open style. We suggest considering the option with the total over goals in the capital of Georgia.
