Dinamo Tbilisi vs Astana Prediction and Betting Tips | July 19, 2023

Dinamo Tbilisi and Astana meet in the second leg of the UEFA Champions League first qualifying round on Wednesday (July 19).

The tie is finely poised at 1-1 as the two sides shared the spoils in the Kazakhstan capital in the first leg last week.

Abat Aimbetov scored the opener for Astana in the 11th minute, but Gabriel Sigua denied them the win with an equaliser for the visitors in the 57th.

It was an engaging contest with Astana mustering 12 shots to Tbilisi's eight, but the Georgian side were more clinical, firing more on target than their hosts. However, better finishing on any other day might as well have resulted in a victory for them.

All's not lost yet, though, with Tbilisi looking to make amends at home in the deciding leg. It's also worth noting that the Blue-White are a different kettle of fish in Georgia, having scored 44 goals in 19 league games this year.

Speaking of Astana, the Kazakh giants are no less potent. They have suffered just one defeat in their last 17 games across competitions, winning 12 times.

Grigori Babayan's side will look to channel that momentum in Europe and boost their Champions League qualification hopes.

Dinamo fought hard away from home to secure a draw. They will look to play in the same vein at home, but Astana are a team with more experience, and the latter's curent form also holds them in good stead.

Tip 1 - Result: Astana

Tip 2 - Goals over/under 2.5: Over 2.5
