Roberto Morales, a well-known Ukrainian journalist and commentator, has prepared a forecast for the 1st leg of the 3rd qualifying round of the Champions League between Dynamo and Rangers.
"The Scottish elite division has grown a lot in recent years thanks to its two historic leaders. "Jersey survived their own personal fall and are now back on top - in 2021 they won the championship, then were second three times in a row and last season they won the country's cup.
Philippe Clement has strong performers in his squad - former England goalkeeper Jack Butland, team leader and scorer despite his position, right winger James Henry Travaille, a young very smart and versatile Ivorian Magomed Baba Diomande. In the attack, there is a Welshman (acts from the depths) Thomas Lawrence and a Nigerian Cyril Dessers at the forefront.
The Scottish Premier League season started on Saturday. "The Gers played in Edinburgh against a strong Hearts side and the match ended with a 0-0 score. Clement's team dominated and did not realize their chances. The 20-year-old Colombian attacker Oscar Cortes played very well.
With Dynamo, everything is more or less clear. The tone is good. The squad is much better balanced than a year ago, and Pikhalenok played well. But it is still far from stable.
My bet is that both teams will score," Morales said.
