Aberdeen v Maribor Betting Preview – UEFA Europa League, 28th July

Aberdeen saw the other Scottish challengers fall but the way side in the last qualifying round, so they are flying the flag for the country in the UEFA Europa League third qualifying round. They came through comfortably against Ventspils in the last round and the goals have generally been flying around well for them. That is in comparison to their Slovenian opponents who struggled to get through on away goals in their last qualifying tie. Can the Dons edge closer to a spot in the main group stage draw?

Aberdeen v Maribor Betting Tips

So Aberdeen were comfortable in the last round and moved past Ventspils with a 4-0 aggregate score. That shock defeat in Luxembourg against Fola in the first qualifying round has all but been forgotten now and they looked to have learned from their mistakes well. That is three clean sheets in four qualifying games now for Aberdeen in the UEFA Europa League this season and you can back Aberdeen to win to nil in this one at a quote of 5/2 or you can take a shot at the Dons just picking up a clean sheet for a decent quote of 13/8. That is seven goals scored and just the one conceded then in their four games so far. Comfortable enough.

Adam Rooney scored the winner at Ventspils out in Latvia, which was his ninth European goal for Aberdeen. But back when he was a Birmingham player, he netted a European goal against Maribor in the 2011/12 Europa League and he will be hoping for a repeat of that. That is three goals in four games for him in qualifying so far this term, so the Dons should have the goals to see this tie out comfortable. They have looked solid and comfortable apart from that horror performance out in Luxembourg against Fola. Aberdeen will be hoping for better luck this time around as the Dons have been knocked out in the third qualifying round in their last two attempts (v Real Sociedad and Kairat).

Maribor then entered qualifying in the last round where they played out a 0-0 draw at home against Levski and then earned a 1-1 draw on the road in the second leg which was enough to get them through on away goals. Not terribly convincing. Under 2.5 goals in this one is a price of 7/10 and that will be the way to swing for this one. Maribor hold a W4 D2 L2 recorded from four previous matches against Scottish opposition. The last time that happened was in the 2014 UEFA Champions League play off round where they beat Celtic 2-1 on aggregate to make it to the group stage. Their record in Scotland is W2 D1 L1 which isn’t bad.

Aberdeen v Maribor Predictions

Would run with Aberdeen getting the home result on the board that they need here. They have been scoring well at home and so no reason why they can’t get past Maribor. This is the toughest opponent that they have met so far in this season’s qualifying, but they still may be value to push out and win to nil as well.
