Everton - Dynamo Kiev (Europa League)

Everton takes Dynamo Kiev at the "Goodison Park" in the first 1/8 round final in the Europa League. The game is on Thursday - March 12, 2015, and judge of the meeting will be Carlos Velasco from Spain. The odds for the game offered by the leading bookmaker bet365 are as follows: 2.30 for a home win, with a draw at 3.40 and 3.40 for the victory of the guests.

Everton performs very poorly in the Premier League and this tournament seems like a priority for the team of Roberto Martinez till the end of the season. In the previous round, the Toffees defeated without problem the team of Young Boys, and now there will be much more difficult with Dynamo Kiev.

John Stones is back in defense for this match. The young player was punished in the previous round and now will restore his partnership with Phil Jagielka in the center of defense. Leighton Baines has problems with injury, but medical staff of Everton will lift his legs to this match. Match through injury will miss Steven Pienaar, Tony Hibbert, Aiden McGeady and Bryan Oviedo. Romelu Lukaku will lead the attack assisted by Steven Naismith and Kevin Mirallas.

Dynamo Kiev is in very good shape and got a comfortable advance in the Ukrainian Championship. The boys of Serhiy Rebrov lead the standings with seven points advantage from his rival Shakhtar Donetsk. So, the young professional can concentrate all forces in the matches with Everton.

Serhiy Rybalka is suspended and will miss the visit to England. Serhiy Sydorchuk will take his place in the center of midfield next to Miguel Veloso. Jeremain Lens is injured and is doubtful for the match. Serhiy Rebrov will rely on a counterattack game, as on the wings will rely on Younes Belhanda and Andriy Yarmolenko.

The hosts will seek mandatory victory in the first game to give them a lead before the second leg next week. We believe that Everton will take a slightly advance against Dynamo Kiev on "Goodison Park".

Recommended bet: For Everton @ 2.30 at bet365
