Dynamo Kyiv
Dynamo Kyiv finished the first part of the season in the Ukrainian Premier League in 3rd position. In 15 matches, Mircea Lucescu’s wards scored 30 points – 9 wins, 3 draws, 3 losses.
Toward the end of autumn 2022, Dynamo scored in the Ukrainian championship with a series of 9 meetings without defeat – 6 wins, 3 draws. The last time Dynamo lost in the UPL was on October 16, losing to Shakhtar Donetsk with a score of 1:3.
For the Dynamo capital of Ukraine, the meeting with Rapid Vienna will be the first game in the new 2023.
Rapid Vein
Vienna “Rapid” in the standings of the championship of Austria takes 4th place. He has 24 points after 16 games – 7 wins, 3 draws, 6 losses. From the leader of the season – “RB Salzburg” – “Rapid” is 15 points behind.
The last games before the pause in the Austrian Bundesliga were played back in mid-November. Filling the idle time, “Rapid” first played three friendly matches – with “Floridsdorfer” (2:2), Viennese “First” (4:1) and German “Schalke” (2:2). Already in 2023, at the training camp in Turkey, the Viennese defeated fellow countrymen from Donaufeld (6: 0), lost to Slesk from Wroclaw (2: 3) and beat the Czech Teplice (3: 1). In all Turkish matches, Rapid’s mentor Zoran Baryšić varied his charges on the field, completely changing the line-up during the break.
The game against Dynamo Kyiv will be the final one in Rapid’s training program. He will restart the season on February 3, when he will play with Wolfsberg in the 1/4 finals of the Austrian Cup.
Forecast for confrontation
We believe that in the upcoming match his nominal guests – the Austrians – will be able to show their class and win. Our bet will be the position – P2 with a coefficient of 2.65 on the Parimatch line.
