Betting Preview: Dynamo Kiev vs Chelsea: Away Win On The Cards

Premier League giants Chelsea are in a fantastic position in the Europa League ahead of their last 16 second half clash with Ukrainian club Dynamo Kiev on Thursday.

West London giants Chelsea are one step closer to the quarterfinals after they won the first leg 3-0 courtesy goals from Pedro Rodriguez, Willian and Callum Hudson-Odoi.

The Blues showed why they are considered one of the favourites to win the Europa League in their first leg meeting with their Ukrainian opponents.

Chelsea could have scored at least six goals against the Ukrainians at Stamford Bridge but the scoring was restricted to just three goals.

Alongside the Blues, Arsenal, Inter Milan and Napoli are all considered favourites in the competition.

Chelsea manager Maurizio Sarri is expected to retain the majority of the squad that navigated the first leg meaning that star forward Eden Hazard and striker Gonzalo Higuain are expected to sit out the game just like what happened in the first meeting at Stamford Bridge.

A likely away win for the Blues is at the odds of 2.20 according to SportPesa while victory for Dynamo Kiev is at the odds of 3.50.

The possibility of a stalemate between the two teams is at the odds of 3.20.
