Dynamo Kyiv vs Gent Predictions and Betting Tips
Three teams will etch their names into the 2020/21 UEFA Champions League group stage on Tuesday as the second leg of the playoffs kick-off. Our focus for this one is at the Stadion NSC Olympiyskiy as Dynamo Kyiv welcome Gent for the second part of this double-header.
Dynamo pick up a crucial away victory
Dynamo Kyiv travelled home with a precious away victory at Belgium to tip this tie slightly in their favour. Mircea Lucescu's troops were the dominant force right from the get-go and were justly awarded as early as the 9th minute with the opening goal from Spryaga. Gent then took control of the game in the latter stages of the first half seeing that they needed a goal. They equalized only four minutes from the half time whistle much to the delight of the home support. Their joy soon turned sour as Bezus received his marching orders. It wasn't until 11 minutes from time the Ukrainian outfit grabbed the eventual winner through De Pena.
As things stand, Dynamo Kyiv are well on course to make it to the UCL group stage for the first time since the 2016-17 season.
