On August 3, the match of the 3rd qualifying round of the Champions League will take place, in which the Ukrainian Dynamo will play a home match with the Austrian Sturm in Lodz, Poland. The forecast for this duel is given by the well-known commentator and blogger Alexey Andronov.
The people of Kiev surprised many by managing to pass the Turkish Fenerbahce at the previous stage" (0:0, 2:1), despite the fact that they have not had any competitive practice for more than six months. But Mircea Lucescu's team managed to get together and make it to the next round on character.
Sturm looks like a more modest opponent, against the background of the same Fenerbahce. In the new Austrian championship, the team from Graz started well, scoring 4 points, beating Salzburg (2:1) last weekend on its field. But still, Christian Ilzer's team doesn't look too formidable in terms of names and ambitions.
Alexey Andronov believes that Dynamo will try to make the most of the first home match with the vice-champion of Austria, although it can only be called a home match nominally, given that European Cup matches will not be held in Ukraine this season. Be that as it may, the expert is betting on a clean victory for Lucescu's team, for which a fairly high coefficient is offered. The people of Kiev had to gain serious self-confidence after the victory in Istanbul a week ago.
