Odds: Valencia (4/7) Draw (16/5) Kiev (11/2)Gamingtips Prediction – Valencia 3:2 Kiev

Dynamo Kiev unfortunately had to play their home leg away from home and it’s difficult to assume what may have happened if they actually played at home.

Valencia come into this tie with a 2:0 lead and they will be looking to score more goals to put the tie beyong Kiev.

Dynamo Kiev are one of the highest scoring teams in Ukraine and if they have any chance of progressing they will need to translate their 2 goals per game average in Ukraine to the Europa League while maintaining an excellent defensive record however Valencia also have a habit of scoring 2 or more goals per game and they may already have a big enough lead to see them progress.

What do you think will happen?
