Prediction: 1-1
Dynamo Kyiv
After suffering a 2-1 loss to Rennes in their opener, Jablonec will be looking to give fans some cheer when they take on Dynamo Kiev in their first home game of the process. Jablonec rolled over Viktoria Plzen 3-0 in their last home game in the national championship, which is surely giving fans a reason for optimism ahead of the visit of Dynamo Kiev. The Ukrainians, on the other hand, dropped two points in a 2-2 draw with Astana in the opening match of their Europa League campaign and, no doubt, they are eager to return to winning ways. Both Jablonec and Dynamo Kiev are likely to go for a win in Thursday’s clash, therefore, we believe that there is a big value in betting on both teams to score. You should bear in mind that Dynamo Kiev shared the spoils with four of their previous five rivals in the Europa League.
Highlighted Player (Michal Travnik):
Michal Travnik is a Czech Republic footballer who plays for Jablonec as a midfielder. Michal Travnik started his youth career at Slovacko and he continued playing for the Metstky fotbalovy stadion outfit at senior level. After making 66 appearances for Slovacko, in which he scored five goals, Travnik moved to fellow Czech side Jablonec in 2015. The prolific midfielder quickly established himself as a first-team regular at Jablonec and he is likely to play an important role in the Czech team in the 2018/2019 Europa League campaign. Michal Travnik has 16 caps for Czech Republic U21 team and he made his debut for the senior team in a 1-0 win over Nigeria in June, 2018. The 175cm-tall footballer produces his best performances as a central midfielder, but he is equally good as a defensive midfielder. He has a contract with Jablonec which should expire on June 30, 2020. The player’s agents are GLOBAL SPORTS a.s.
Highlighted Team (Dynamo Kyiv):
The most successful football club in Ukraine, Dynamo Kyiv has not been relegated to a lower division since its inception in 1927. First founded as a part of the Soviet Dynamo Sports Society, Dynamo Kyiv became a member of the Ukrainian Premier League after the dissolution of the Soviet Union. Over the course of its rich history, Dynamo Kyiv has won the total of 28 national titles, 13 of which came during the Soviet era. In addition, Dynamo Kyiv won 20 national cup competitions, while it also grabbed 3 major continental trophies, including two UEFA Cup Winners’ Cups. Oleh Blokhin remains to this date the most successful player of the Ukrainian giants with his 266 goals scored for the Kyiv club. However, current Ukraine national team head coach Andriy Shevchenko is arguably the most recognisable player in Dynamo Kyiv history. Former Milan and Chelsea star scored the total of 124 goal during his two stints with the Ukrainian club.
