The UEFA Champions League match between Dinamo Tbilisi and FC Astana will take place at Boris Paichadze Dinamo Arena at 9:30 pm IST on Wednesday.
Dinamo Tbilisi and Astana will face each other once again in the second leg of their Champions League qualification match at the Boris Paitchadze Dinamo Arena on Wednesday. After a 1-1 draw in Kazakhstan in their previous encounter, the teams will compete in the Georgian capital to secure a spot in the second qualifying round.
Dinamo Tbilisi secured a 1-1 draw at the Astana Arena with a 57th-minute equalizer from Gabriel Sigua in their previous encounter. Abat Aymbetov had given Astana the lead in the 11th minute. Although Dinamo Tbilisi had fewer shots overall, they had more attempts on target compared to Astana. Dinamo Tbilisi enters the second leg on a four-game unbeaten streak across all competitions, having suffered only two defeats in their last nine matches. They are also the highest-scoring team in the Georgian top flight, with 44 goals in 19 league games, but they are eight points behind league leaders Dinamo Batumi.
FC Astana couldn’t capitalize on their early lead in the previous encounter but can take confidence from their consistent performances. Grigori Babayan’s side has suffered only one defeat in their last 17 matches, securing 12 wins and four draws. In the Kazakhstan Premier League, they currently sit in second place, just one point behind the league leaders Ordabasy, with 12 wins, two draws, and two losses in 16 games played. FC Astana has a strong history of success, winning six consecutive top-flight titles between 2014 and 2019 and reclaiming the domestic crown in 2022. Therefore, they will be determined to make their mark in European competition this year.
