The 1st legs of the 2nd qualifying round in the Europa League continue on Thursday night and our next fixture features a clash between Georgian side, Chikhura, and Scottish outfit, Aberdeen, as the betting tips continue at the Tsentraluri Stadioni.
Chikhura Prediction – Can Chikhura continue their Europa dream?
Georgian side, Chikhura, will prepare for the visit of Scottish Premiership side to the Boris Paichadze Dinamo Arena.
Thursday night’s hosts, Chikhura, sealed their place in the 2nd qualifying round of the Europa League with a 4-2 aggregate win over Fola Esch in the previous round.
2-1 wins in the away and home legs saw the Georgian outfit through to this next round, but they’re likely to face stiff opposition in the shape of Aberdeen in this tie.
Nevertheless, having won 3 of their last 4 matches in all competitions, Chikhura will be in confident mood ahead of this 1st leg.
A 4-1 home win over Dila and a point in a 0-0 draw at WIT Georgia in the Erovnuli Liga as well as the Europa League win over Fola Esch will have been a welcome boost.
However, 3 wins from their last 9 Europa League ties overall shows a level of vulnerability and this could re-surface against Aberdeen here.
Results at home have also been disappointing at this level as the hosts have won just 1 of their last 6 matches at their Tsentraluri Stadioni.
Aberdeen Prediction – Can Aberdeen extend their Euro adventure?
Aberdeen are certainly clocking up the air miles so far in their Europa League campaign as they now make their way over to Georgia.
A 4-2 aggregate win over Finnish side, RoPS, saw the Scottish outfit progress to this 2nd qualifying round of the Europa League.
Similar to their Thursday night’s opponents, Chikhura, Aberdeen posted 2-1 wins home and away to march into this qualifying round.
Overall form has also been impressive for The Dons in recent times as they bring a 7-match unbeaten sequence into this 1st leg.
Scottish Premiership wins against Hearts and Hibernian at the end of last season were followed by their impressive win over RoPS.
Results away from home have also been impressive for Aberdeen as they’ve won 5 of their last 6 matches on their travels in all competitions.
Wins on the road in the Europa League have been sporadic though as The Dons have won 4 of their last 11 away ties at this level.
Derek McInnes’s side will therefore be hoping they can replicate the result they achieved at RoPS in tonight’s 1st leg in Georgia.
Key-Facts – Chikhura v Aberdeen
- Chikhura have won just 1 of their last 6 Europa League ties at home
- Aberdeen have won 5 of their last 6 matches on their travels in all competitions
- These two teams have never played each other before in any competitive match
Betting Tips Verdict
Chikhura have had to relocate this game from their usual home ground, the Tsentraluri Stadioni, as it’s too small for a Europa League tie, and this might just suit Aberdeen here.
