• HJK Helsinki vs Larne Prediction: Champions League Match on 12.07.2023

Key Highlights

Astana will look to play on the front foot in their home leg. In front of the home support, they will be proactive, seek to control the match’s tempo and dominate possession of the ball. This will allow them to play a high-pressing and high-energy tactical approach, making it easy to create chances in the final third. Counter-pressing will be deployed to reduce their vulnerability to transition attacks against a good Dinamo Tbilisi side.

Dinamo Tbilisi have played two matches in the Georgian Super Cup leading up to the clash with Astana. They were held to a 1-1 draw by Dila in the semi-final, winning 4-2 on penalties, and in the final, they could only draw 1-1 against Dinamo Batumi, eventually prevailing 4-3 on penalties. Away to Astana, Tbilisi will look to be solid and compact in their approach. This will allow them to concede few chances as they look to hit Astana on the counter.
