Dynamo Kyiv vs Besiktas Prediction: Will Mircea Lucescu's team finish the European Cup campaign?

Kyiv Dynamo experienced big problems in the matches with Greek Aris, but still made it to the next round. Now the White Blues have a much more serious opponent - Istanbul's Besiktas. Will Mircea Lucescu's team finish the European Cup campaign?

In the first game with Aris, the team lost 0:1; in the second game, they were threatened with relegation, with the score 1:1 until the end. However, in the 85th minute, Oleksandr Karavaev scored, providing Dynamo with extra time. As a result, the White-Blue reached the penalty shootout, won, and went further. It was the most difficult confrontation for the Kyiv team.

After the return match with Aris, Dynamo played the championship match and lost 2:3 to Chornomorets. After two victories at the start, this is the first failure of the White-Blue in the new season of the national championship. It should be noted that in all Dynamo matches in UPL, at least five goals were scored.

The Istanbulians have already passed two rounds of European Cup qualification and, unlike Dynamo, for Besiktas the campaign has been simple so far. First, they beat Albanian side Tirana twice, and then they beat Neftchi twice. In four matches, Besiktas scored ten goals and conceded only three.

In addition to the European Cup, the Istanbulians have also started to perform in the Turkish championship. So far, Besiktas has a win and a draw - 1:0 away against Karagümrük and 1:1 at home against Pendikspor.

Dinamo, in the new season, misses in every match. From Besiktas, which hasn't lost almost three dozen matches in a row, Dynamo will probably concede more than once. If the White Blues had such a hard time against Greek Aris, they don't stand a chance in games against Istanbul. We bet on Besiktas and a more or less efficient meeting, taking into account the total over statistics of both teams in the new season.
