Dynamo Kiev vs Ajax Match Preview, Soccer Prediction and Betting Tips

This is one of the most important games the teams that have made it to this round would be playing this season, and these two teams would be looking to be among the teams for the group stage draw on Thursday. Dynamo Kiev are trailing 3-1 from the first leg and the Ukrainians know that they would have to be at their very best to get the result that would pull them through in this game. After their 3-1 loss, they dropped their first points of the season in their domestic league. However, they have still collected 13 points from a possible 15 this season, that should boost their confidence ahead of this game. Ajax have missed the group stage of the Champions League in the last four seasons, however, after their 3-1 win in the first leg, they are on the cusp of returning to the big stage again this season. The Dutch giants are enjoying a resurgence thanks to the impact of the likes of Dusan Tadic and Jan Klas Huntelaar, and they should finish the job here.

Brighton & Hove Albion vs. Southampton Match Preview, Soccer Prediction and Betting Tips

These two teams face off in the only all-Premier League clash in this second round of the English league cup and they would both be looking to go further in this competition. Brighton have started their season in an average way. They may have collected just three points from their opening three league games,  but their 3-2 win over Manchester United is the kind of result that Southampton dream of. After beating the Red Devils on matchday 2, they were impressive in their last Premier League game when they visited Liverpool at Anfield. They lost the game 1-0, no thanks to a Mohamed Salah 23rd minute strike. However, the Seagulls were very brave in that game and almost got an equalizer in the second half. Southampton have started their season like they ended the last campaign and they might be fighting for relegation yet again this season. Despite their struggles in the league, the Saints have a good record in this competition. They reached the finals in the 2016/2017 season where they lost 3-2 to Manchester United. Prior to that season, they had reached the quarterfinals in consecutive seasons. However, they were eliminated at the first hurdle last season, so they would be looking to do better in this game.

Tottenham failed in a £25 million deadline day move for Chelsea star

Tottenham had a record-breaking summer in the last transfer window as they became the first team ever to go through the transfer window without making a single signing. However, new reports have thrown more light on their business dealings and it appears that the Lilywhites did not want it to be that way always. Fresh reports from Goal claim that Tottenham did attempt to sign a striker on deadline day but failed in their attempt. According to the reports, the Lilywhites made a £25 million move for Tammy Abraham, but Chelsea turned down their offer before the transfer window was shut. Abraham has been one of the success stories of the Blues famed academy and the club believe that he has a future with them. Spurs wanted Abraham who has spent the last two seasons away on loan to help Harry Kane with the goalscoring burden, something Vincent Jansen and Diego Llorente have both failed to do so far.

Besiktas make shock move for Manchester City star

Manchester City star Fabian Delph has become a major target for Turkish Super Lig side, Besiktas ahead of the end of the European transfer window. The World Cup star has fallen down the pecking order and the Turkish side are said to be prepared to offer him a way out of his misery. Last season he would have been sold, but an injury to Benjamin Mendy forced Pep Guardiola to convert him into a left back for much of the season. However, Mendy is now fully fit and that has reduced the prospect of Delph getting a chance in the first team. Reports on Sun Sport claims that the former Aston Villa man has been discussed by the president of the two clubs and the Turks hope that he can be convinced with the promise of more playing time to make the switch to Turkey. Delph played his way into England’s squad for the last World Cup and he would be given no further consideration if he doesn’t play enough first-team football.
