Wednesday's Champions League predictions including Fenerbahce vs. Dynamo Kiev

sportsmole.co.uk, 27 July 2022, 05:00
Bodo/Glimt vs. Linfield (Wednesday, 5.00pm)

Bodo/Glimt will aim to overturn a 1-0 deficit when Linfield pay a visit to the Aspmyra Stadion for the second leg of their Champions League second-round qualifying tie on Wednesday.

A Kirk Millar strike got the job done for the Northern Irish champions in a first leg shock, and either Zalgiris or Malmo will await the victors in the third round.

We say: Bodo/Glimt 3-0 Linfield (Bodo/Glimt win 3-1 on aggregate)

We made the mistake of underestimating Linfield in the first leg, but Bodo/Glimt performed with a vengeance in league action at the weekend and will be fired up to complete an expected turnaround this week.

Healy's side have done Northern Ireland proud in Europe so far, but with Bodo/Glimt excelling at home with plenty of goals in tow, the Linfield journey will surely end here.

Fenerbahce vs. Dynamo Kiev (Wednesday, 6.00pm)

Fenerbahce and Dynamo Kiev will lock horns at the Sukru Saracoglu stadium for the second leg of their Champions League qualifier on Wednesday.

The tie is nicely poised following last week's goalless draw in Poland, where Kiev's home match was played amid the war in Ukraine, with the winners of this contest facing Austrian side Sturm Graz in the third qualifying round.

We say: Fenerbahce 1-1 Dynamo Kiev (Fenerbahce to win 2-1 after extra time)

Both sides cancelled each other out in the first leg last week and another closely-fought contest is set to be played out on Wednesday.

There has to be a winner in the second leg, however, and while the tie may not be settled in 90 minutes, we feel that Fenerbahce will do enough to edge themselves through to the next round.

Malmo vs. Zalgiris (Wednesday, 6.00pm)

Swedish giants Malmo will be looking to overturn a one-goal deficit when they welcome FK Zalgiris to the Eleda Stadion for the second leg of their Champions League qualifier on Wednesday.

The Lithuanian visitors currently lead 1-0 from the first leg, with the winners of this tie facing either Linfield or Bodo/Glimt in the third qualifying round.

We say: Malmo 2-0 FK Zalgiris (Malmo to win 2-1 on aggregate)

Malmo suffered a surprise defeat against Zalgiris last week, with the first-leg loss the only game in their last 10 across all competitions in which they have failed to score.

Even though the visitors are in fine form, the hosts will be the firm favourites to win on Wednesday and they should have enough quality in their side to turn the tie around and book their place in the next round.

FC Zurich vs. Qarabag FK (Wednesday, 6.00pm)

FC Zurich will be looking to overturn a one-goal deficit when they play host to Qarabag FK at Stadion Letzigrund for the second leg of their Champions League qualifier on Wednesday.

The Azerbaijani visitors currently lead 3-2 from the first leg, with the winners of this tie facing either Ferencvaros or Slovan Bratislava in the third qualifying round.

We say: FC Zurich 1-1 Qarabag FK (Qarabag FK to win 4-3 on aggregate)

Both teams caused problems for one another in the final third last week and more goalmouth action is to be expected in the second leg.

However, we can see Qarabag frustrating their opponents and forcing them to share the spoils on Wednesday, which would be enough for the visitors to progress to the next round on aggregate.

Slovan Bratislava vs. Ferencvaros (Wednesday, 7.30pm)

Ferencvaros will be looking to overcome a first-leg deficit when they travel to Slovan Bratislava for the second leg of their second qualifying round Champions League contest on Wednesday night.

Bratislava recorded a 2-1 victory in the first leg last week, with Guram Kashia and Tigran Barseghyan on the scoresheet for the Slovakian side after Kristoffer Zachariassen had registered in the 70th minute.

We say: Slovan Bratislava 2-2 Ferencvaros

This has all of the makings of a brilliant second leg, and it should be a fascinating watch on Wednesday. We are expecting both sides to find the back of the net and have ultimately tipped a 2-2 draw at the end of the 90 minutes, which would take Bratislava into the next round courtesy of a 4-3 aggregate success.

Olympiacos vs. Maccabi Haifa (Wednesday, 8.00pm)

Perennial Greek champions Olympiacos will welcome Israeli top-flight holders Maccabi Haifa to the Karaiskakis Stadium for the second leg of their Champions League qualifier on Wednesday.

The tie is nicely poised following a 1-1 draw in the first leg, and the winners will face Cyprian outfit Apollon Limassol in the third qualifying round.

We say: Olympiacos 2-0 Maccabi Haifa (Olympiacos to win 3-1 on aggregate)

Both sides have endured inconsistent runs of form in recent weeks, but they will be confident in their own abilities to come out on top and progress to the next round.

However, Olympiacos will be considered the favourites on home soil and we expect them to bounce back from their first-leg draw with a routine win, edging them closer to reaching their eighth Champions League group stage in the last 11 years.
