Dynamo Kyiv has traditionally won silver medals in the Ukrainian Premier League, losing to Shakhtar Donetsk, but in the summer off-season it received a serious boost in the form of a new head coach, who became Mircea Lucescu. No one could have guessed about such a turn of events, but, nevertheless, the Romanian coach has already brought the Super Cup to the team and an exit to the Champions League group stage. On the way to the main tournament of the best teams in Europe, the “white-blue” passed AZ Alkmaar (2:0) and “Gent” (5:1 on aggregate). In the UPL the Kyivans are still in first place. In six matches they won four victories and played two world ones. It should be noted the clear play in the defense line, which conceded only three goals. Besedin, Burda and Tymchik will not be able to take part in today’s match.
These ones seem to have lost the formula for winning games. Their embarrassing form has seen them fall to defeat in their last two games on the bounce. Leaking a whopping 46 runs on the last matchday, RR were effectively taken to the cleaners by RCB. In truth, a playoff place already seems out of reach, and RR should rather focus on achieving a respectable league finish. The only bright spark in their team this season, Jofra Archer, has now hit a rough patch, failing to turn up in recent matches. His decline in form has cost the Rajasthan Royals dearly. With Archer battling his own personal demons, batsmen Robin Uthappa and Ben Stokes were impressive in the previous game. Smith and Jos Buttler also bossed the middle order, and will be hoping to hit their high marks once again on Monday. More cricket match predictions today can be obtained from the link provided.
