Dynamo Kiev impressed in the qualifiers for the elite competition, with the team outclassing Gent in the two-legged tie. The Ukrainian vice-champions aim to claim a major scalp in their first group game, but beating Juve is easier said than done. SportPesa offers the best odds for this meeting.
The Bianconeri aim to make a flying start to their Champions League campaign, but they will have to do it without key player Cristiano Ronaldo. CR7 has been tested positive for coronavirus, which is the main reason why we are not tempted to put our money on the Serie A champions. A close encounter is on the cards in Kiev, and we believe that punters can find value in betting on draw. Aron Remzi and Matthijs De Ligt are sidelined with injury for Juventus.
