Looking forward to this, hopefully not jinxing it but we have a decent enough record at Tannadice even in my time seeing euro ties, a narrow win by AEK the sole home leg defeat upto now, worst result was still 2-2 with mypa from 2-0 up but the was a crap Utd side that snuck in via cup final runner ups... Been unfortunate with our draws since then as every team of ours after would gub a MyPa

United 3-2 Brondby 1993
United 3-2 Tatran Presov 1994
United 9-0 CE Principat 1997
United 1-1 Trabzonspor 1997
United 2-2 MyPa 47 2005
United 0-1 AEK Athens 2010
United 3-2 Slask Wroclaw 2011
United 2-2 Dynamo Moscow 2012

Away goals rule no longer in operation either (I think). 🙂

My hope is with big support atmosphere we rise to occasion, play with bit of tempo, they get bit rattled at some stage, and maybe aren’t as good as we think. I’d take a narrow win, draw even, something that keeps us alive second leg.

My fears are, especially after sat, that once game settles down, they dominate possession, we are poor at keeping the ball, and for return leg, if we are pushed back, we have zero pace to counter.
