Astana vs Tbilisi Dinamo Betting Tips: Astana to Win

Astana finished only one point ahead of closest rival Aktobe, returning the Premier Liga subject to their showcases in spectacular fashion after a three-year rainfall. The Kazakh team’s victory signaled their return to Champions League action after three years, where they hoped to advance past the second qualifying round for the first time since 2018 — 19.

Although Astana is one of the teams required by category obligations, it cannot be said that things are going well for the team to defend the championship. They might currently be in the lead, but they could pretty easily cede it to their biggest competitor Ordabasy, who is only three steps away and has up to two more games to play.

The club from Kazakhstan’s capital failed to make a strong overture before the Champions League qualifiers began because Ordabasy knocked them out of the national cup semifinals last week( 1 — 2 ). Since Astana had already played 15 games without losing, which they celebrated in 12 times, that failure should not have dampened their spirits.

Dinamo from Tbilisi, the team that won the Greek championship last year for the second time in the previous four copies, will be their first obstacle in this round of the UCL passing round. The fact that they narrowly defeated Gagra on the final time, finishing three points above their namesakes from Batumi, makes next season’s name all the sweeter.

As in Kazakhstan, the championship of Georgia is also in full swing, so the players of Astana and Tbilisi Dinamo will not lack physical preparation. Still, the defense of the Erovnuli Liga title is not going in the right direction for the Blue-White, since after the first part of the season they have eight points less than the current leader.

Giorgi Tchiabrishvili’s men, in contrast to Astana, arrive in Tbilisi with great optimism after taking home the Georgian Super Bowl trophy via penalty roulette last Tuesday( 1 &— 1 ( 4 &— 3 on pens ). Dynamo’s game, however, is somewhat ambiguous because they have only ever won once in a normal 90-minute period from their previous five games across all tournaments.

We anticipate both sides to view Wednesday’s match very gingerly given the significance of the outcome from the first leg, but we also believe Astana has enough potential to support the host role. A modest victory for the hosts in this battle appears to be a good result, especially if we know that they welcome the Greek area with an impressive run of seven straight victories at home.
