Renowned journalist and editor-in-chief of Football magazine Artem Frankov has prepared a forecast for the return leg of the Dynamo vs Aris Conference League qualifier.
"As experienced punters know, it is better not to bet on such matches at all or to place specific bets against yourself - for example, Dynamo fans should charge on the Greeks' passage. It's a win-win situation - either money or joy!
Still, let's assume that despite the minimal defeat in the first leg, and despite the high probability of a missed goal in Bucharest (which is why I'm more inclined to the total), Mircea Lucescu's team can solve this problem. Moreover, the refereeing is unlikely to be as unfavourable as in Thessaloniki.
The main thing for the Romanian coach is to get through to the minds of the White and Blue players: there is nowhere to retreat, only the Ukrainian championship, from which there is currently no direct access to the Champions League, is behind them.
Yarmolenko, Shaparenko, Buyalsky, Vanat - you have to prove that your two for four at the beginning of the season is not only dictated by the weakness of the opponent! For all the refereeing tricks in Greece, you played a disgusting game, and if you continue in this spirit, relegation will immediately knock on the door of the Bucharest stadium, and detractors will fiercely remind you of the postponement of the championship match with Metalist 1925 (you should see how many postponements there have been in different countries, starting with the vaunted Poland!) Load Cuesta up properly and let his name show Aris the way!
My bet is that Dynamo's passage is very difficult, though," said Frankov.
