Sturm Graz vs Dynamo Kyiv Prediction: Draw in Graz will satisfy Lucescu's team

The first match between the opponents in Poland ended with Kyiv winning narrowly, 1-0. Now the bookmakers are on the side of the Austrian team with the home advantage. Let's see how they will do this time.

Sturm Graz

Sturm certainly did not look worse than Dynamo in the Polish match. While the guests gave up the initiative, possessing the ball only 40% of playing time, they practically did not concede on shots in the direction and were four times outnumbered on shots on goal. Though, this did not bring success to Sturm, who lost the first game with a score of 0-1. Now, to make it to the final of qualification, the Austrians need to defeat Dynamo by two goals or one goal and win a penalty shootout. After the first match with the Ukrainians, the Austrians played an away match against Ried, 1-1. Footballers from Graz were close to victory, leading from 11 minutes to 78, having one more player, but did not keep the advantage. In any case, you shouldn't pay too much attention to the result of the match against Reid, as it is evident that Sturm's priority is the upcoming home game against Dynamo.

Dynamo Kyiv

Before the first game against Sturm, Dynamo Kyiv played a friendly against Everton. And after the narrow victory over the Austrians, the Kyiv players had six days to recover and rest. We have already noted that Dynamo Kyiv won the first game against Sturm 1-0, was stronger than the opponent in possession, but hit the bar only once. A stroke of clear good luck for the Ukrainians, which, nevertheless, could result in Mircea Lucescu's side reaching the final of qualification. It must be recalled Dynamo had earlier knocked out the Turkish club Fenerbahce from the draw, who had a considerable advantage in terms of squad.

Expert Betting Tips

All three games Dynamo played in the UEFA Champions League qualifying were low-scoring, and 1-0 in Poland suggests that the upcoming game will not be very productive either. As for the outcome, Sturm will have to go forward and attack, which, of course, is good for the experienced Ukrainians, who have already knocked out a stronger Fenerbahce. At the same time, Dynamo is a reasonable team and in Graz, they will definitely settle for a draw, which will get Lucescu's squad to the final of the UEFA Champions League qualifying.
