Benfica vs Dynamo Kyiv
Champions League Qualification
Date: Tuesday, 23 August 2022
Kick-off at 20:00 UK/ 21:00 CET
Venue: Estádio da Luz.
Benfica are part of the prestigious Portuguese top flight and they have lately been in a superb winning streak. Meanwhile Dinamo Kyiv could not even complete their previous league campaign (since they are a Ukrainian club).
Benfica had finished 3rd in the Portuguese league the last season and only the toppers of the competition had managed to outscore them. In fact, they had found the back of the net an impressive 78 times from just 38 fixtures.
It also needs to be mentioned that they had a lead of 9 points over the 4th placed team.
In addition, they had won the first leg of this tie, with a 0-2 scorecard and that too on the road. And now all that remains is that they manage to keep a hold of this lead in front of their home crowd, where they have been in massive form.
Meanwhile, Dynamo Kyiv have been going through a rather poor stretch of performances and they are also struggling with their defense. Particularly on the road they have not been able to deliver good performances lately.
On top of that they are under pressure to find two unanswered goals this Tuesday, against an in-form team.
Judging all these factors, it is expected that Benfica are the firm favourites to register another victory.
Benfica are on a long 11-game winning streak and in the process they had found the back of the net 32 times. On the other hand, Kyiv were winless in 7 of their previous 8 fixtures and they had also let in 2 or more goals in 4 of these games.
Considering these observations, as well as the h2h superiority of Benfica, expect a win for them this Tuesday.
