On Wednesday, August 3, from 21:00 at “LKS Municipal” in Lodz (Poland), the scoring match of the first match of the third preliminary round of the Champions League “Dynamo Kyiv” – “Sturm Graz” will take place.
Kyiv “Dynamo” miraculously bypassed Istanbul “Fenerbahce” in the previous round, although before the “double” with the Turks, they had not played an official match since December 2021! In the match, which is considered to be a home match, “Dynamo” Kyiv played white in Łódź (Poland) in the return match from Istanbul “Fenerbahce” with a score of 2:1 after extra time.
In the third preliminary round of the Champions League, Kyiv “Dynamo” will meet with Austria’s vice-champion “Sturm” from Graz; the first leg will also take place in Łódź, with the second leg taking place on Tuesday, August 9, at the Austrian ground.
Dynamo Kyiv coach Mircea Lucescu has just turned 77 and intends to move on, even if his team is playing in a country at war.
The Football Federation of Ukraine believes that the first league will resume in the country itself on August 23 under special conditions and with a clearly established security protocol. Games are held without spectators, and in case of alarm, they are interrupted!
“Championships should be held where they belong, not abroad. Therefore, the championship should be held in Ukraine, and this is the most important thing,” said Mircea Lucescu.
Sturm Graz, who enter the Champions League directly in the third preliminary round, finished last domestic season in 2nd place, 18 points behind champions RB Salzburg, who they just beat 2-1 in the new league season!
The team is coached by Christian Ilzer, a former mediocre football player who made his debut in the “main” status only in 2018 in Wolfsberger, after which he moved to Vienna Austria in 2019, and since 2020 he has been on the technical bench of Sturm Graz .
Superbet gives odds of 1.80 that Dynamo Kyiv will take the lead either at halftime or at the end of the match against Sturm Graz.
