Derry and Dinamo Minsk set for Europa League draw

Derry and Dinamo Minsk set for Europa League draw

On Thursday evening, Derry City and Dinamo Minsk go head-to-head in the first leg of the first qualifying round of the Europa League.

Derry are enjoying a mixed domestic campaign in the Irish Premier Division, sitting fifth-place in the table. Kenny Shiels team can enjoy the distraction of European action on Thursday against Belarussian opponents, though.

However, the home side has a poor recent record in the Europa League winning just two of their last ten games in the European competition. In fact, the Irish team have suffered four straight defeats in the Europa League, while conceding at least four goals in three of their last four outings.

City’s recent Europa League games have been high scoring, with over 2.5 goals scored in seven of their last eight games.

The Irish side has a poor home record in the Europa League, winning just two of their last eight games on home soil, while also losing three of their previous four games on home turf.

Dinamo Minsk are currently challenging for the Belarus Premier Division title, sitting second in the table, just four points behind BATE Borisov.

However, the team from the capital have been unconvincing in the Europa League of late. The visitors have won just one of their last four games in Europe’s secondary competition.

Dinamo’s Europa League games have been low scoring, with under 2.5 goals scored in four of their last five outings in the competition.

Just like their general record in the Europa League, Minsk’s recent away record in the competition has been unconvincing. However, they have been hard to beat in the Europa League of late, losing just once in their last six games on their travels.

Dinamo Minsk’s recent away games in the Europa League have been low scoring, with under 2.5 goals scored in all of their previous six games.

Forebet predicts that this game will end in a low scoring draw, which will mean the tie remaining evenly balanced for the second leg.
