Dynamo Kyiv vs Crystal Palace Prediction
Dynamo Kyiv began their European sojourn this year in the UEFA Champions League but were eliminated in qualification for both the first-tier and second-tier UEFA club competitions.
Palace have been flying high under Oliver Glasner's management. They are in Europe by virtue of winning the FA Cup last season but ownership rules resulted in them dropping down to the Conference League rather than the Europa League. On the bright side, the Selhurst Park outfit will be among the sides fancied to go all the way in this competition. Their hopes will be further boosted by the fact that Glasner has European pedigree, having led Eintracht Frankfurt to the Europa League in 2021.
Backing the visitors to claim a narrow win with goals at both ends.
