Zestafoni is solid team from Georgia that can stay unbeaten in Lviv. I know that Karpaty from Ukraine is big favorite here. But I don't believe they are able to beat Zestafoni. Zestafoni played against Faetano from San Marino in first qualification round. They won 5:0 in first game, while goalless draw in second game was enough for progress. In second qualification round Zestaffoni was better then Dukla Banska Bistrita from Slovakia. They won 3:0 in first game, while lost 1:0 in second. But not only those two games makes me believe Zestafoni can stay unbeaten in Lviv. During the preparation period Zestafoni played some friendly games in Austria where they were on preparation. They won against Dinamo Moscow with 3:1 (played on 23.06.2010). Before that Zestafoni won against Austrian champion Red Bull Salzburg with 3:2 (19.06.2010). I will just mention another game, against Zenit from Sankt Petersburg (15.06.2010). The final result was 0:0 and having on mind Zenit won the UEFA Europe league just two years ago, we must respect this results. It is obvious Zestafoni coach George Geguchadze is doing a great job so far. But there is one more thing. Dnipro have some problems with injuries. Three players are unavailable for this game. Zenjov, Oshchypko and Fedetsky will probably miss the game and I see a chance for Zestafoni to take some advantage from that. Posted on Jul-29-2010 at 14:17 CET |
