Dynamo Kiev vs Sturm Graz Match Preview

Dynamo Kyiv face Sturm Graz in the first leg of the third qualifying round of the Champions League.

The typically home team Ukrainians in the previous round eased the resistance of Fenerbahce despite having to go into half-hour extra time. Taking advantage of their numerical advantage and the missed penalty by the Turks, they managed to secure a place in the group stage.

On the contrary, their big disadvantage is their inactivity since due to the war they had no official competitive obligations and at the same time they lost key footballers. In addition, they will be deprived of their stadium and fans since the match will be played on Polish soil.

On the contrary, the Austrians throw themselves into the battle of Europe with the aim of qualifying for the gold-bearing groups after a twenty-year absence from them which was followed by three consecutive participations.

The psychology of the visitors is at a very high level after they showed their teeth to the champions of Salzburg, beating them 2-1, confirming the momentum they seem to have this year.

In conclusion, I think that the set of odds should be more balanced due to Sturm's form so I will bet 3 points at odds of 1.75 on the possibility that Dynamo Kyiv will not win since I think it has more than 57% chance of happening.
