Head-to-head statistics Dinamo Minsk - Neftchi Baku

Dinamo Minsk Team Overview
The Belarusian club showed character in Baku and proved they can punish opponents for mistakes. Dinamo go into the second leg in better physical shape - while Neftchi are only just getting into their season, the Belarusian league is in full swing, and the Minsk side are top of the table, two points clear of their nearest rivals.

Match Results: Dinamo Minsk

Neftchi Baku Team Overview
The Baku side collapsed in the second half at home: up by two goals, they lost focus, let their opponents level it and then conceded twice more on the counter. Even on their own patch, Yuriy Vernydub's men couldn't match Minsk in terms of threat created - 14 shots to 17. Factor in the preseason and Nefchi's results look pretty grim: four defeats in their last five matches. The squad has been strengthened with new signings, but the cohesion isn't there yet.

⭐ Editor's Pick
Dinamo Minsk hold a comfortable two-goal advantage and are in good physical shape. Neftchi will have to push forward - they have no other choice - but that will only open space for Belarusian counters and make for an open, high-scoring game. Dinamo should win again and advance to the third round. We're predicting a 2-1 to the home side and backing total goals over 2.5.
