Aberdeen v Siroki Brijeg Betting Tips

Aberdeen go in the first leg of this second qualifying round at Pittodrie on Thursday night as favourites. This will be the first meeting between the two clubs and the Dons are on a six match unbeaten streak of form at home in Europe now (W2 D4). So it is unlikely that an upset is going to happen in the fixture. There have been changes Pittodrie over the summer with the likes of Niall McGinn, Jonny Hayes and Ryan Jack all having departed. The loss of McInnes to a South Korean club, is their biggest hit as he was a regular scorer for the Dons. Bit boss Derek McInnes will look to keep the club going in the right direction. This is Aberdeen’s first game ahead of the new domestic season and under 2.5 goals at 4/5 with bet365 is probably the way to go for value.

In the bet365 correct score market, the Aberdeen 1-0 result is the shortest priced option at 5/1 and should have some appeal. Aberdeen are reshaping themselves notably bringing in former West Ham and Bristol City striker Nicky Maynard. IN each of the last three seasons Aberdeen have entered at the first qualifying round and have made it through to the third. But after their runners up spot to Celtic in the league and with them being losing Scottish FA Cup finalists as well, they get a pass straight into this second round and they will be hoping that gets them a little bit closer to making the group stage. As for the Bosnians, they came past Ordabasy 2-0 on aggregate in the first qualifying round, but they have won just one of their last nine European away games. In four of the five previous two-legged UEFA ties between these nations clubs, it has been the Scottish club prevailing.

Aberdeen v Siroki Brijeg Predictions

Aberdeen to win: The Bosnians have a track record of not winning in Europe on the road and therefore Aberdeen, even if they will be reshaped a bit, aren’t likely to lose this one. Look For the Dons to squeeze out a win in a low scoring game and the 1-0 correct score on the home side has some appeal.
