Aberdeen

Aberdeen lost to Celtic and Rangers in the Scottish league last season, but finished third. This position gave the Reds ticket to the Europa League play-offs. Aberdeen made a poor start to the away game against Hacken and found themselves 2:0 down after 70 minutes, but managed to turn the game around. From the 75th to the 79th minute, Bojan Miovski and Nicky Devlin made it 2:2 with Miovski's pass. Aberdeen could have won the game on 90+4, but Jamie McGrath's goal was disallowed after a video review.

In the home league, Barry Robson's side lost 3:1 to Celtic, drew 2-2 with St Mirren and 0:0 with Livingston, and beat Stirling 2:1 in the League Cup.

Hacken

Unlike Aberdeen, Hacken have been through several rounds of European Cup qualifying. First, they were knocked out of the Champions League by New Saints of Wales, then they left the main club competition because of Klaksvik of the Faroe Islands. In the Europa League they defeated Zalgiris of Lithuania 8:1 on aggregate.

The team is third in the Swedish league after 21 rounds, scoring 52 goals and conceding 26.

Expert Betting Tips

Both Aberdeen and Hacken play efficiently, scoring and conceding in almost every game. It is quite possible that the upcoming meeting will be a goal-laden affair, although it is unlikely to be ultra-efficient. Firstly, Hacken play fewer TO games than at home. And secondly, the stakes are too high - qualifying for the Europa League group will pay big dividends. We're betting on an exchange of goals, but we're not expecting a super-efficient game.
