Rangers vs Dynamo Kiev Prediction 13.08.2024 | Champions League

• Competition: UEFA Champions League - Qualifying
• Date: Tuesday, 13th, August 2024
• Kickoff: 19:45 UK / 20:45 CEST
• Venue: Hampden Park (Glasgow)

With their eyes set on the 2024-25 Champions League playoffs, Dynamo Kyiv will seek to put on a memorable performance when they clash with Rangers at Ibrox Stadium on Tuesday evening.

All possibilities remain open in this Champions League tie after Rangers managed to save themselves and avoid defeat in last week’s first leg by scoring a last-gasp equalizer through Cyriel Dessers to secure a 1-1 final result.

Rangers vs Dynamo Kiev Betting Tips: X2 (DOUBLE CHANCE)

With two teams of equal caliber facing off, we expect an extremely uncertain and tense match where it wouldn’t be surprising if the participant for the Champions League final round qualification is decided only after extra time or a penalty shootout. If we had to choose, we would back the Ukrainian club to edge closer to the main draw of Europe's elite club competition as they have shown more desire and drive compared to their faltering Scottish rival.

In truth, Rangers’ initiation of the 2024-25 season has been anything but well, with their poor pre-season form including one draw and three losses leading Philippe Clement’s team to embark on their Premiership title chase in a slow and uninspired manner, struggling to a drab goalless draw against Hearts and barely edging past Motherwell 2-1 in their latest outing. Saturday’s hard-earned three points saw the Gers record their first victory after nearly three months of drought (D4 L4), so there is almost certainly a lack of confidence at the Glasgow club.

In stark contrast, Dynamo Kyiv are enjoying their rich and steady start to their new campaign as they picked up a 2-1 win at Veres-Rivne on the opening weekend of the Ukrainian top flight, which followed a total demolition of Serbian club Partizan with a remerkable 9-2 aggregate in the previous qualifying round of this competition. Buoyed by increased energy, motivation, and an undeniably stronger start to the campaign, the Kyiv giants should capitalize on the current crisis facing Rangers and seal their place in the Champions League playoff round with an aggregate victory.
