Dinamo Tbilisi are the biggest club in Georgia and won the title for a record 16th time last season. Dinamo cruised to the title winning 25 of their 30 matches but to have a decent run in European competition must be on their minds, having failed to do so over the last years. Dinamo’s 2-0 win at home to Alashkert in the first leg represented only their 2nd win from 9 fixtures in Europe, but they too seem a much improved side since their 4-0 aggregate defeat to Aktobe in the same stage of the 2014 competition.
Dinamo showed that their extensive preseason preparation had payed off in the first leg where the registered a total of 16 attempts compared to the 5 of Alashkert. The Georgians are once again the bookies favourites to win the game, but Alashkert will be sure to make them work for it. Alashkert may have have lost 2 of their last 3 matches at home, but they have scored an average of 2 goals per game at home over their last 5 and 4 of these had over 2.5 goals scored. Similarly, 3 of Dinamo’s last 5 games on the road have had over 2.5 goals scored.
Combining this analysis with the statistics below, we expect a few goals in this match as Dinamo take advantage of hosts Alashkert forced 2-0 deficit recovery attempt in front of the home crowd. Over 2.5 goals at 5/4 and Dinamo Tbilisi to win 2-1 at 17/2 with bet365 both seem top value bets in our books.
Dinamo Tbilisi won 2-0 at home in the first leg against Alashkert in the only time the two sides have previously met.
