Oboabona: Dinamo Batumi can be Europa League’s surprise package

Nigeria international Godfrey Oboabona feels Dinamo Batumi can be the surprise package of this season’s Europa League.

Having finished as runners-up in the 2019-20 Erovnuli Liga, George Geguchadze’s men will campaign in the European club competition.

They commence their campaign against Hapoel Be’er Sheva in a one-legged first qualifying round fixture, as victory will power them to the second round of qualifiers.
