RB Salzburg will be looking to continue their impressive form since the start of the 2024-25 campaign when they face Dynamo Kyiv in a Champions League play-off tie in Ukraine this week.
Dynamo Kyiv are off to an excellent start in the Ukrainian Premier League. Oleksandr Shovkovskyi's side have taken two wins from their two league games so far, finding the back of the net at least twice in each encounter. In Europe, the Ukrainians have had to go through two rounds to reach the Champions League play-offs, eliminating Partizan and Rangers in the second and third rounds respectively.
Salzburg have picked up where they left off last season. The visitors ended their 2023-24 league campaign with 12-2 aggregate wins over the likes of Hartbert and Rapid Wien and nothing has changed despite the long break. Pepijn Lijnders' men are unbeaten in all competitions this season, bosting a 100% record in the league and thrashed Dornbirn 6-0 in the first round of the Austrian Cup. In their only two European matches this season, they beat Twente 5-4 at Aggregate.
Dynamo Kyiv vs RB Salzburg Betting Tips: Over 2.5 goals
Both sides can't seem to stop scoring at the moment. Dynamo Kyiv boast at least two goals from five of their last six fixtures, but they only kept a clean sheet in two of those matches.
RB Salzburg are also struggling defensively with last weekend's win over LASK the first time they hadn't conceded in five games. Nine goals from their last three games alone has made up for that.
- Best Tip: Over 2.5 goals
- Dynamo Kyiv vs RB Salzburg prediction: 2-2
