Champions League qualifier, play-off first leg, Wednesday, 21.08.2024 at 21:00
Karim Konate is still recovering from the injury he picked up in the Bundesliga opener, but his Salzburg team seem to be coping quite well without him.
In my Dynamo Kiev Red Bull Salzburg betting tip, however, every fan of the Mozart city team is warned not to underestimate the upcoming European Cup opponent of their favorites.
In the handy Sunmaker app, I would also “almost” predict a possible home win for the Ukrainians in addition to many goals, which RBS would then have to overturn a week later
It would of course be huge for Ukraine if the capital city club could get through this round and thus qualify for the main round of the top flight, which, as we all know, was completely restructured in 2024/25.
Kiev’s supposed home game, meanwhile, will be played at the Arena Lublin in neighboring Poland – as has unfortunately become the norm.
Incidentally, Kiev are on the brink of a historic milestone. I’ll talk about this in more detail in my Dynamo Kiev Red Bull Salzburg betting tip, as it could spur the Eastern Europeans on even more
The bookmakers’ forecast
The balanced Dynamo Kiev Red Bull Salzburg odds that currently characterize NEObet sports betting should give you food for thought, especially since almost all other bookmakers are following suit.
They state that Salzburg will come up against a club that is almost equally likely to win the first leg.
With average odds of 2.40 out of 2.70 in favour of the Austrians, their favouritism is nominal at best
Analysis: Dynamo Kiev vs RB Salzburg
Pavlović is already gone, and Oumar Solet could also leave the city of Mozart at the second attempt after the first transfer attempt to TSG failed at the medical check.
Nevertheless, RBS have managed to achieve the results desired by the club’s management under their new coach, even without Konate in the center of attack.
After Twente were eliminated in the 3rd qualifying round, they managed to record an important 1:0 away win at LASK last weekend in the Bundesliga.
RBS coach Lijnders insisted on a three-man attack consisting of Dorgeles, Ratkov and Daghim, which kept Linz on their toes throughout the game
Dynamo Kiev, meanwhile, are about to play their 400th European Cup game – excluding qualifying matches and discarded competitions – and will naturally want to take the opportunity to set the course for a place in the UCL group stage in the first leg.
I was extremely surprised by how well the Ukrainians have started the new 2024/25 season, which once again promises to be difficult due to the war raging in their own country.
But if you can make Partizan Belgrade look like a school team with 6:2 and 3:0 and then overcome a top team like Glasgow Rangers 3:1 on aggregate, you can do something internationally even under these adverse circumstances
Odds analysis
It’s really hard not to consider a goal bet on this pairing.
The question that arises, however, is of course how much you can actually trust this encounter.
Personally, I’m taking virtually no risks with my Dynamo Kiev Red Bull Salzburg betting tip, but for more daring sports betting fans, I have a sophisticated tip in store.
This involves the combination of the two betting options “Over 3.5 goals” and “Both teams to score” at great odds of currently around 2.60.
A thunderstorm of goals is gathering over the Arena Lublin!
In my Dynamo Kiev Red Bull Salzburg prediction, I clearly trust the immense offensive potential of both sides.
Watch out: Both opponents have each played six competitive matches in 2024/25 and have always scored once or more.
There almost seems to be a competition going on to see whose side will spread more fear and terror within their own borders.
Salzburg have scored 20 goals in these six matches, while Dynamo Kiev have scored an average of 17 goals, more than three per match
There could be 3 to 6 goals!
Don’t be swayed by the fact that Kiev are playing on neutral territory and may not have the most illustrious player names. Underestimating them could end badly.
Otherwise, you would be making the same mistake as many experienced sports betting fans who, when bigger teams pay Dynamo Kyiv a visit, either get off lightly or experience a “blue miracle.”
Dynamo Kiev have a positive record against Austrian clubs of 10 wins, 3 draws and only 3 defeats. Two seasons ago, they even managed to eliminate Sturm Graz.
In addition to the lucrative Oddset bonus, the 31 goals scored and 18 goals conceded so far in competitive international matches against Austrian Bundesliga clubs are music to my ears.
That’s a whopping 3.06 goals per match divided by 16 matches
However, the other side also has excellent statistics to go along with my Dynamo Kiev Red Bull betting tip.
In Salzburg’s last 14 competitive matches against first division teams from any country, both sides involved have scored 12 times.
My Kiev Salzburg tip:
On Wednesday evening, Dynamo Kiev and Salzburg will meet.
While RBS will play a strong season, as the new coach can compensate well for the many departures with his soccer expertise, Dynamo Kiev should not be underestimated.
On a good day, the Ukrainians have the potential to inflict their first defeat of the season on RBS.
Meanwhile, I recommend a bet of the type “Both teams to score ” for the clash, as both teams are in good form and are likely to score goals.
