Dinamo Kiev ended their previous season strongly with four consecutive wins and have maintained momentum through successful pre-season matches. In contrast, Cluj has struggled, remaining winless since early May. Based on recent form, Dinamo Kiev is expected to secure an advantage heading into the upcoming fixture. The key recommendation is to back Dinamo Kiev due to their current consistency and Cluj's ongoing difficulties.

Even though this match is played on neutral ground in Poland, I expect Dinamo Kiev to come on top. The Romanian side struggled in the previous campaign and didn’t score a single goal in three test games. 

Key Stats  


  • Dinamo Kiev have won 7 of their last 9 matches. 
  • Universitatea Cluj have lost their last 2 matches. 

No Previous Meetings 


This is going to be the first head to head match between Dinamo Kiev and Universitatea Cluj. 

Kiev Playing on Neutral Ground


Dinamo Kiev dropped out from the Premier League title race very early last season and finished as 4th placed team, 15 points behind the champions Shakhtar Donetsk but did great offensively (scored 66 goals in 30 matches). 

Their biggest achievement in the previous campaign was winning the Ukrainian Cup, beating FC Chernihiv 3-1 in the grand finals where Vitali Buyalsky starred netting a brace. 

They had solid results in recent preparation matches, beating Wieczysta Krakow 4-2 and LASK Linz 2-0, while recording just one defeat to Rapid Bucharest 3-1. 

Cluj Didn’t Score a Single Goal in Three Test Games 


The previous season was labelled as unsuccessful for Univeristatea Cluj since they failed to secure a single trophy. 

The first failure was losing the title race against Universitatea Craiova by four points, then losing the Romanian Cup finals to the same opponent after a penalty shootout. 

Cluj’s confidence is probably low after suffering two heavy defeats in their recent test matches against Vojvodina 3-0 and Nyiregyhaza 3-0, while the match against Ujpest ended in a goalless draw. 

Team News


Dinamo’s defender Vladyslav Zakharchenko will miss this match (ligament injury), while Reshat Ramadani and Mykola Mykhaylenko are doubtful. 

The visitors can’t count on right back Alin Chintes who is out with a muscle injury, while striker Quadri Taiwo is doubtful. 

Verdict

Dinamo Kiev wrapped up the previous campaign with four straight wins and looked good in pre-season friendlies. I will back them to gain some advantage against Cluj who are winless since early May.
