Hamrun vs Dinamo Tbilisi Prediction and Betting Tips
Hamrun host Dinamo Tbilisi at the Ta' Qali National Stadium in Attard, Malta, for the first leg of their UEFA Europa Conference League second qualifying round on Tuesday (July 25).
Both teams lost in the qualifiers of the UEFA Champions League earlier this month. Hamrun, the Maltese outfit, were beaten 6-1 on aggregate by Israeli side Maccabi Haifa, losing 4-0 at home and 2-1 at Haifa a week later. Meanwhile, Tbilisi held Kazakhstan's Astana 1-1 in the first leg before losing 2-1 at home in the return.
By next week, one of Hamrun and Tbilisi will endure a second consecutive European heartbreak in the qualifiers, so both ties could be intense.
The 2022-23 Maltese Premeir League winners, Hamrun could be paying the price for the lack of game time this summer. They've played just one friendly before the qualifiers - a 2-0 win over Birkirkara on July 1.
Meanwhile, Tbilisi are in the midst of their 2023 season and are fourth in the Erovnuli Liga with 34 points from 19 games. Before their Champions League qualifiers, the Blue-Whites won the Georgian Super Cup, beating Dinamo Batumi in the final on penalties.
