In the first round of the Europa League playoffs, Dinamo Kiev and Salzburg are in a fierce battle. If Dinamo Kiev can make it through, they will be able to advance to the lucrative league stage, so their will to fight is not to be underestimated. As a regular in the UEFA Europa League, Dinamo Kiev has a number of experienced Ukrainian internationals in their team, and their overall strength is not to be underestimated, so the probability of the home team winning is high.
Dynamo Kiev is led by legendary goalkeeper Shugovsky and more than half of the players are members of the national team. One of them, Yermolango, is a 100-game star striker in the European competition, having played for Dortmund & Wes. He has contributed two goals in the Eredivisie this season and is in steady form. The flexible tactics and teamwork of the strong Ukrainian team should never be overlooked.
This season, Dynamo Kyiv knocked out the solid Berdycons and Glasgow Players in the Europa League, with three wins and one loss in four matches. They even won the Ukrainian league title for the second time in a row. So far, Dinamo Kyiv has five wins and one draw in six official matches, and their performance is promising.
The Salzburg team is coached by former Liverpool assistant coach Liandas, but the team's main attacking tactics are quite risky. This season, they are undefeated in only one match. In the last round, they eliminated Kawardi with a total score of 5-4, which was a thrilling match. However, the team's top scorer Karin Kannadi is out of action due to injury, which has affected both offense and defense, and Dynamo Kiev seems to have the advantage.
