Prediction: 1-0
Slavia Prague
Dinamo Kiev were on the verge of beating Slavia Prague at Eden Arena in the first leg of the Champions League third qualifying round, but Josef Husbauer eventually scored a late equalizer for the Czechs, helping them keep their hopes of booking their place in the next qualifying round alive. Yet another close encounter is on the cards and we predict that the Ukrainians are going to rely on their rock-solid defence in Tuesday’s football match. Dinamo Kiev are tough to beat at home and you should bear in mind that they defeated the likes of Besiktas and Young Boys in previous two home games in the elite competition. Slavia Prague face an uphill task in the return leg and we do not believe that they are capable of spoiling Dinamo’s party at NSK Olimpijs’kyj. Anyhow, home win should be considered.
Highlighted Player (Mykola Morozyuk):
Product of the club, Mycola Morozyuk is the 28-year-old right midfielder, who can effectively be deployed at right back as well. Having begun his career with the Kyiv giants in 2005, Morozyuk struggled to make his mark in the first team and was transferred to Metalurh Donetsk in 2010, the same year he was give his international debut.
More than 120 appearances later and loans at the likes of Dnipro and Obolon Kyiv, the Ukrainian midfielder returned home to Dynamo Kyiv in 2015.
Mycola Morozyuk was unfortunate to make an immediate impression following his return to the club he began his professional career with as he suffered a serious ligament injury at the beginning of 2016. Ligament issue limited his influence to mere 13 league appearances so far, but the 28-year-old lacks no motivation to finally earn his stripes with the Ukrainian giants.
Highlighted Team (Slavia Prague):
Slavia Prague is considered one of the most famous teams in Czech Republic. The Cervenobili won the Czechoslovak First League on 13 occasions and they lifted their fourth Czech First League in 2017. Despite winning the domestic trophy in the 2016/2017 season, Slavia Prague eventually failed to book their place in the Champions League group stages as they were beaten by APOEL of Cyprus in the play-offs. Sparta Prague are regarded as Slavia’s fiercest rivals and the two teams face each other in the Prague derby.
The club was founded on November 2, 1892 and it has to be noted that the club was initially focused on cycling. In March 1896 Slavia Prague recorded their first ever victory, with the team beating AC Prague 5-0. The Cervenobili play their home games at Eden Arena and the capacity of the venue is 19.084 (football). Slavia Prague are well known for their red and white shirts and white shorts.
