IT was a no bet day for me yesterday but tonight see’s another action packed Europe League card and with these matches being second legs, we should expect to see more goals with many of the matches finely poised.
Aberdeen chucked their 1st leg after conceding two late goals which all but end their hopes of getting through to the play offs. The can dream though and will still feel they can get back into the tie at Pittodrie. An away goal kills the tie and id expect the Rijeka to do so although Aberdeen more than capable of scoring and need to go for it.
Aberdeen vs HNK Rijeka (KO 7.45pm)
A moment of madness by Don’s defender Shay Logan has left Aberdeen with a mountain to climb if they are to overcome their Croatian opponents. A needless penalty given away and now they need to score at least twice to stay in the tie and hope they don’t concede.
It was a disaster of a week for Derek McInnes’s side – that defeat last week in Croatia was followed up by a lacklustre performance in Paisley as they went 1-0 down to St Mirren, hardly idea preparation. To make matters worse top scorer Sam Cosgrove is out with a hamstring injury and he’ll be a massive loss.
Be another near full house for Aberdeen and if they can nick an early goal who knows what could happen – I just feel Rijeka are a good enough side to cause Aberdeen real problems, especially on the break and with Aberdeen having to go for it as the match progresses, I’d expect it to be an open affair – odds against over 2.5 goals looks to good to miss out on especially given the probability of both sides scoring.
The Don’s are unbeaten in their last 12 home matches in Europe, scoring in 10 consecutive games and these two fought out a 2-2 draw here back in 2015.
Recommended Bet:
- Over 2.5 goals
- 23/20 (Coral) (NAP)
