Dynamo Kiev vs FC Copenhagen Predictions

Dynamo Kiev are set to host FC Copenhagen in this Thursday’s UEFA Europa League Group B game. This game will be a meeting between Group B’s top two sides. Both of these teams have accumulated 4 points from their opening 2 Europa League games of this campaign and are both yet to taste defeat in this season’s Europa League competition.

A win for either of these sides would put them at the top of the Group B table. We feel that this Thursday’s game will be a closely contested match and also predict that it will likely be a low scoring game. 

Plenty of statistics suggest that this game will not provide a lot of goals. Neither of these sides have been involved in very high scoring games in recent times. There have been under 2.5 goals scored in 6 of Copenhagen’s last 8 away games in all competitions. There have also been under 2.5 goals scored in 10 of Copenhagen’s last 12 Europa League games. 

Similarly, there have been under 2.5 goals scored in 5 of Dynamo Kiev’s last 8 Europa League games. Both of these teams have been low scoring thus far in this Europa League campaign. Copenhagen have scored just 2 goals in their first 2 Europa League games of the season. Meanwhile, Kiev have scored just once thus far in this campaign. 

Both of these teams have also been impressive at the back in this season’s competition. Kiev are yet to concede in the 2019/20 Europa League group stage, while current Group B leaders Copenhagen have conceded just 1 goal so far in this competition. 

We feel that Thursday’s game is likely to produce under 2.5 goals. 

Despite both teams being undefeated in this campaign, neither of these teams look likely to win this game. Dynamo Kiev’s recent European form doesn’t make them look convincing before Thursday’s game. They have failed to win 5 of their last 8 home Europa League games.

Meanwhile, Copenhagen have failed to win their last 6 competitive away games and have also failed to win their last 4 Europa League away games. 

We feel that this game is likely to end in a draw with a likely result of a 1-1 scoreline.
