Our prediction for the match Hoffenheim vs Dynamo Kyiv
Last season, “the Peasants” were finally able to remind about themselves. They managed to take 7th place, and it allowed them to return even to the more prestigious Europa League. A year ago, “the White and Blues” parted ways with Lucescu. And Shovkovskyi, who had replaced him, was able to raise his wards to the traditional 2nd place, rehabilitating for the club’s failure in 2022/2023.
It is remarkable that a number of interesting newcomers appeared in Kyiv in the summer – Bragaru, Rubchinskyi, Pikhalyonok, Ceballos, and Guerreiro. Taking into account the Shakhtar’s not-so-best game, it even started talking about the revival of the championship intrigue in the UPL, although Shovkovskyi’s wards were also losing points. The German club started extremely inexpressively. Speaking about the cup confrontations with Würzburger Kickers, it overcame the opponent on penalties, and a 3-2 result in the opening round with newcomer Holstein Kiel was followed by 4 defeats in a row.
The Germans should have lost to Midtjylland if not for the incredible goal by substitute Moerstedt in the 89th minute of the game. The Ukrainians first played in the Champions League qualification in the summer. There, they destroyed Partizan, defeating the rival twice, then overcame Rangers, beating the opponent with a majority in Glasgow after missing out on a home win. Still, they lost to Red Bull on the formally “native” field, and then finished with a 1-1 draw in Salzburg. As for the battle against Lazio, nothing worked out: the Italian club, being not in the best shape, with a less than optimal line-up, took a crushing 0-3 victory in the first half of the meeting.
