THE PREDICTION
Last season’s UEFA Champions League quarter-finalists Benfica face Ukrainian giants Dynamo Kiev for a place in the group stage. However, due to the well-documented war between Russia and Ukraine, this match is taking place in Poland rather than at the Olimpiyskiy. In a fixture of such magnitude, it’s hard not to think that losing such an advantage won’t have an adverse effect on Dynamo, especially when factoring in the quality of their opposition. Whilst Benfica no longer have serial goal-scorer Darwin Nunez on their books, their squad is packed full of international experience plus new arrivals such as David Neres, who will be familiar with Dynamo through his time at Ukrainian rivals Shakhtar. Ultimately, Benfica are likely to wind up too strong for Mircea Lucescu’s side and are worth backing to secure a first-leg victory
