Stoke, v Dynamo (Live on ITV4)
Stoke are top of Group E with ten points from four matches. A draw at home to Dynamo Kiev this week will take them over the line and into the knockout stages. Dynamo really need to win, but that's not something they've done on English soil before (W0-D1-L9 in previous games).
Tony Pulis' team beat Blackburn 3-1 at the Britannia on Saturday, ending a run of four league defeats, but they are not in the class of Dynamo's previous English opponents.
Stoke's last eight games in all competitions have finished with three goals or more, while two of Dynamo's four European away matches this season have been similarly high-scoring. Pulis has said he will play his newly demoted No. 2 keeper, Asmir Begovic, and this too suggests there's value in backing Over 2.5 Goals at 2.10, especially as the boss says he wants to win, not just draw, in order to secure top spot with a game to spare.
If you fancy the visitors to score, keep an eye on Andriy Yarmolenko. He's Andriy Shevchenko's strike partner and he's outscored the veteran by 11 goals to four in the Ukrainian league this season. Ten of those goals have come in his last ten games. Shevchenko will lead the goalscorer markets for Dynamo, but the value is with Yarmolenko and you might find him at 4.0 or better.
Recommended Bet: Back Andriy Yarmolenko To Score @ 4.0
