Europa League 20/21

[Br0chred]

Yep came first in their group which included Sporting, PSV & Rosenberg.

2 Questions.
1. Does anyone know anyone with Covid?
2. Do they fancy a trip to Linz this weekend?

Apparently this is Sporting's Covid 10....

Aye , fancy going there. But maybe two weeks time ?

Normally Sporting Lisbon to beat AFC at home would be around 2/7 ? With all their Covid problems, this will be their first competitive game and our form; I reckon it should be nearer 4/6.

We have a decent chance here.

As someone else said earlier, to put in perspective, we had 7 missing for the game against St Johnstone, so whilst they will be weakened, I’m not convinced they will be that severely depleted.
Look at the Czech / Scots game. Whilst Scotland did manage to win, the third choice Czech team put up a very decent challenge

A club with the resources of Sporting Lisbon are always going to be favourites against Aberdeeen, especially in Lisbon. The situation gives us a chance though , I’d say somewhere between 6/4 and 2/1 for a Dons victory .

Not playing for over two months is a bigger deal than the Covid impact

You can see how bad we were after not playing.

I hope we don't hear this type of negative nonsense from the club. There's no need to list possible reasons for losing the match before it starts. Let's go out with mindset that we're going to win.

The Uruguayan defender, Sebastian Coates has been saying, "A defeat against the Scottish club would be disastrous" despite history telling us that they normally go out when facing Scottish teams. Let's shove is words down his throat...
