Nae domestic fitba this weekend due to the Huns involvement in the Skol Cup, so we've got another European game to "look forward to".
It's on Thursday 6th November and it starts at 1745 Scotland time.
AEK Larnaca are from Cyprus. They qualified for Europe by winning the cup, same as us. They are fifth in the Cypriot League just now.
I fancy us to do twice as well as we did in our last European game. 3-0 to the home side.
Take what we can from this but tnhe bigger picture is winning against Murderwell at home after it.
A bit more about our hosts:
They were formed in 1994 after a merger of two other clubs
They have never won the Cypriot League, but have been runners-up several times
They have never played a Scottish club in Europe before
They are ranked 143rd in Europe. For comparison, we're 209th
Their home ground is AEK Arena – Georgios Karapatakis, built in 2016 with a capacity of 8,058. It is also the home stadium of the Cypriot national team.
This has the potential to be our first point on the board of the conference league.
0-0 or 1-1 (Nisbet)
The AEK thing is a bit spooky tho
Play any player not in our managers immediate plans and hope for the best.
I know we're restricted due to players listed in our euro squad, but point stands.
Motherwell at home on the Sunday is of far greater importance.
Agree with this. League is way more important.Quote:

Jimmy has been dragged away from the sun loungers to speak to the world's media.
He says we need to be a different kind of Aberdeen to the one which got pumped in Greece, and we're "nae feart" (his exact words) of AEK Larnaca.
I didn't know they had beaten Crystal Palace in London earlier in the competition. So I'm revising my prediction to a 5-0 home win.
Game day.
I would take a defeat with an improved performance on the one in Greece the other week.
But when it comes to the AFC, I seldom get what I want.
None of us usually do min, but it makes days like the 24th May 2025, that bit more special when they happen.Quote:

Of course I hope we pump them, but they seem to be a decent enough team, going by their UEFA cup games so far.
A bit lightwright in the middle with that line up.
Don't think I'd have started Aouchichi
