Dinamo Minsk vs Zeljeznicar Prediction and Betting Tips | 20th July 2023

Dinamo Minsk will welcome Zeljeznicar to Azərsun Arena in the UEFA Europa Conference League first qualifying round on Thursday.

Dinamo Minsk vs Zeljeznicar Preview

Dinamo Minsk could have returned from the first leg with a two-goal margin but were unable to safeguard their lead and were eventually pegged back. The Belarusian team was up 2-0 by the 50th minute through strikes from Ivan Bakhar and Vladislav Morozo. But Dzenan Haracic powered home two late efforts, six minutes apart, to save his side's blushes.

Dinamo will rue for a long time the wasted opportunity. They were even close to sealing a 2-1 away win but a goalmouth blunder occasioned the equalizer (2-2) in the 91st minute. Nevertheless, their character and level of performance deserve commendation and if replicated at home, victory could smile at them.

Zeljeznicar were thrown off balance by Dinamo Minsk’s aggressive and breathless pace in the early sessions of the first leg. However, the Bosnian team found their footing gradually after the break following a reorganization of the midfield, but Dinamo’s back half stood firm until the final minutes.

Plavi will be expecting a similar treatment or probably worse in the return leg as Dinamo Minsk will be playing in front of home fans. The visitors will have no other option but to deploy a fierce defensive strategy to frustrate and sap their opponents’ strength until they find a breach to deliver the knockout blow.
