Dynamo Kyiv vs Hamrun: UEFA Champions League Prediction (30.07.2025)

On July 30, 2025, at 01:00 WIB, the second leg of the UEFA Champions League qualification quarterfinal between Dynamo Kyiv and Hamrun will take place. In the first meeting, Oleksandr Shovkovskyi’s men did everything to make the second leg feel almost like a formality. The visitors have been left with virtually no chance of advancing to the next round. Let’s review the current form of both teams and give our prediction for the match.

Dynamo Kyiv

Despite showing rather average results in the preseason, Dynamo immediately got down to business in their first official match of the season. The team demonstrated its superiority early, scoring a quick goal in the 13th minute of the match in Malta. From there, the Kyiv side calmly pushed toward a dominant victory. Losing a three-goal advantage would be difficult even if the coaching staff opts for heavy squad rotation. And that’s quite likely, considering Dynamo will kick off their Ukrainian league campaign just three days after this match.

Hamrun

The Maltese side has never qualified for the group stage of a European competition. Local teams continue to fall short, even with the newly expanded tournament formats. It appears Hamrun will have to try their luck in the lower-tier European tournaments, as the Champions League level still seems out of reach. Overcoming a three-goal deficit from the first leg looks nearly impossible. Especially when, even as hosts, they failed to register a single shot on target. With such a performance, it’s hard to expect a miracle from Hamrun in the return leg.

Stats and Head-to-Head Record

Last week’s match was the first-ever meeting between these two clubs. The game ended in a 3-0 victory for Dynamo Kyiv.

Prediction

In the Dynamo Kyiv vs Hamrun match, the prediction favors the nominal home side. The Maltese team looked completely toothless in the first leg. Dynamo, on the other hand, will likely aim to settle the outcome and secure their place in the next round by halftime. Therefore, a bet on Dynamo Kyiv to win the first half at odds of 1.55 looks appealing.
