As the Champions League qualifiers roll into a decisive midweek chapter, Wednesday night sets the stage for two lopsided duels that may already feel like formalities — but still carry weight for sides looking to sharpen their European credentials.
In Lublin, Dynamo Kyiv return home with a three-goal cushion and a point to prove. After a clinical dismantling of Hamrun Spartans in Malta, the Ukrainian giants are eyeing another clean sheet and a composed march into the next round.
Meanwhile, in Mostar, Slovan Bratislava arrive with the tie virtually sealed. A 4-0 demolition job in the first leg leaves Zrinjski chasing ghosts — and needing a miracle. But for the Slovak champions, it’s not just a formality — it’s a chance to once again underline their ambitions on the European stage.
Let’s break down both matchups and highlight the best betting angles.

Dynamo Kiev vs Hamrun Spartans
Dynamo Kyiv to Win to Nil ()
Last week in Ta' Qali, Dynamo Kyiv imposed their class with ruthless efficiency, cruising to a 3-0 victory and leaving Hamrun Spartans chasing shadows. The Maltese outfit failed to register a single shot on target — a telling statistic that underscored the gulf in quality.
Now, as the tie shifts to Lublin, Dynamo’s record speaks volumes. They remain unbeaten in designated home fixtures since November and have kept six clean sheets in their last eight such games across all competitions. A legacy of defensive discipline continues to underpin their continental ambitions.
Hamrun, meanwhile, look out of depth. Four attempts in 90 minutes — none troubling the keeper — suggests this is more about damage limitation than a comeback. With the tie all but wrapped up, Kyiv are unlikely to overextend, but they’ve shown they don’t need to. Their last two home wins have ended 2-0, a pattern that could easily repeat.

Zrinjski Mostar vs Slovan Bratislava
Slovan Bratislava to Win ()
The first leg in Bratislava felt like the final chapter before the return leg had even begun. Slovan Bratislava didn’t just win — they dominated. A 4-0 triumph, zero shots on target conceded, and a level of control that suggested the gap in European pedigree may be wider than expected.
Zrinjski Mostar return to their home turf with little momentum and less belief. They’ve now lost three of their last five European games at home — a troubling stat against a side that competed in the Champions League league phase last season and travelled to Bayern Munich, Atletico Madrid, and Girona without crumbling.
While Slovan failed to pick up a point in that elite company, their ability to hold their own at that level stands in stark contrast to Zrinjski’s stuttering record. The visitors look poised to dictate the tempo once again and carve open a defence that struggled to stay afloat last week.
With Zrinjski failing to score in their last two European home defeats, another clean sheet for Slovan feels more than plausible. A professional, composed 2-0 victory would be more than enough to seal progression — and continue Slovan’s relentless form in Europe.
