Thursday evening at 19:45, Aberdeen moves to Tbilisi for the match against the Georgians of Chikhura in the first leg of the Preliminary Round 2 of the UEFA Europa League.
The arbitration match by Horatiu Fesnic will be played on a neutral ground in the capital of the country. Aberdeen is coming to Tbilisi without any complexity, amid a non-emotional qualifiers from tournament 1. The Scots have passed the Finns from Rovaniemi with a double 2-1 at home and away, and the Pittodrie team does not want to stop by the competition groups. Chikhura will not be an easy opponent, judging by the latest white-blue results.
The Georgians come after a qualification in front of the Luxembourgers at Fola Esch, with a double win with the score of 2-1. First, Chikhura forced himself away, which eliminated the pressure on his favorite shoulders. On the way back, Chikhura was forced to score goals scored by Ardazishvili (’25) and Sardalashvili (’73), but guests had a man eliminated from the 32nd minute (Muhamerovic). So the Georgians are confident in their own strengths and will hope to qualify.
Coming in a friendly match with a defensive front, the Scottish team trained by Derek McInnes will make it a priority to score a goal but the defensive will be great for the guests who need an immaculate result before the return on your own. We are on a closed game in which the hosts would probably accept a white draw after 90 minutes. We have bet in the past few goals in Aberdeen‘s trips and we usually enjoyed the finale.
PREDICTION: Aberdeen to win @ 1,72
