Dynamo Kyiv vs Maccabi Tel Aviv betting preview with bet365 odds and our tips …
Dynamo Kyiv host Maccabi Tel Aviv in the Champions League on Wednesday night trading as bet365’s heavy 1/6 favourites to seal a last 16 spot by picking up three points.
It seems safe to suggest that there is no value in backing an away win at 20/1.
Maccabi have lost all five of their Group G fixtures scoring only one goal and it is testament to the Israeli side’s weakness that Dynamo’s 0-2 win in Tel Aviv marked the occasion of the Ukrainian club’s first away group victory in seven years.
Dynamo opened their group campaign with a 2-2 draw at home against Porto before winning in Israel and they drew 0-0 at home and lost 2-1 away in the double header against Chelsea.
However, Serhiy Rebrov’s side put themselves in a position whereby they will reach the last 16 provided they win on Wednesday (regardless of the outcome of Porto’s clash against Chelsea in London) by winning 0-2 away at Porto on matchday five.
Dynamo have lost just one of their last 11 home European games, recording seven wins, and a 6-0 win at bottom side FC Metalist Zaporizhya on 4 December – their biggest victory of the campaign – means that the Ukrainian side have recorded five successive wins since losing to Chelsea on matchday four.
Indeed, Dynamo go into the winter break joint top of the Ukrainian league with FC Shakhtar Donetsk and Maccabi are without their suspended key defender, Tal Ben Haim.
