Renowned Ukrainian journalist Roberto Morales prepared a forecast for the main round match of the Conference League, Samsunspor vs. Dynamo.
«It’s hard to believe in positive outcomes for the Kyiv team amidst their complex issues. At least, we can start with the losses. In the match against Samsunspor, Mykola Shaparenko, Oleksandr Tymchyk, Vladyslav Dubinchak, Angel Torres, and Kristiyan Bilovar will not play due to injuries. Andriy Yarmolenko will also not assist his teammates, which is a separate unfortunate story.
Dynamo is entering a highly challenging period. In the national championship, the team from Kyiv is experiencing stagnation; in the last five matches, they led and lost their victories, resulting in five draws.
Last season, Samsunspor finished third in the national championship, which allowed the „red-whites“ to debut in European competitions. They started from the last qualifying round of the Europa League, where the Turks lost to Greek Panathinaikos 1:2 and 0:0.
In the first group stage match of the Conference League, Samsunspor defeated Legia 1:0 away. In the Turkish Super Lig this season, after 9 rounds, the German specialist Thomas Reis’s team has 16 points and is in sixth place. The bet is on both teams to score goals,» said Morales.
