Dynamo Kiev vs Desna Chernihiv Predictions

• Dynamo Kiev have won 4 of their last 5 home league matches.
• 4 of said games have cleared the over 2.5 goal line.
• Desna have lost 2 of their last 4 away league matches.
• 7 of Desna’s last 10 away league games have cleared the over 2.5 goal line

Dynamo looking for routine home win

Still well short of the standard Shakhtar are setting in the Ukranian top flight, Dynamo Kiev are looking to crown themselves as the best of the rest once again and secure the Champions League slot that comes with it. With 45 points from 22 games, Dynamo are 2 points ahead of 3rd placed Zorya but need to sustain their form from now until the end of the campaign.

As such, Sunday’s game is an important one and is not one the hosts can afford to slip up in. They are big favourites heading into it and having won 4 of their last 5 home league outings, confidence can be high as regards getting the job done with minimal fuss.

Desna looking to cause an upset

Meanwhile, after finishing 8th last term, Desna are enjoying an excellent campaign and have defied expectations. Indeed, even being part of the Championship group after the split is an achievement for the team but just 3 points short of Dynamo and 2nd place, they certainly aren’t just looking to make up the numbers. 

Whilst Desna might not have the same quality as Dynamo on paper, they’ve performed very well this season and won’t be looking to merely sit back this weekend. Wherever they travel, entertainment typically follows due to their open nature; something evidenced by the fact 7 of their last 10 away league matches have cleared the 2.5 goal line. 

Dynamo are clear favourites but it should be an open game

Ultimately, there can be no doubting that Dynamo should win this game but Desna should help make it an open and exciting watch. It’s in their nature to attack and if they want to overhaul Dynamo and seize an unlikely Champions League slot, they have to go for the win on Sunday.

All things considered, backing the Over 2.5 Goals line looks the best way to play as far as the betting is concerned and is something we’re more than happy to do. Dynamo are entirely capable of clearing that by themselves but we do see Desna notching; albeit in a 3-1 margin of defeat.
