Tord31 Posted August 31, 2020 Share Posted August 31, 2020 Huns would still be desperate for a home draw. Lech or Rio Ave away will be difficult. It's a bit daunting for us but a home tie could give us a bit of a chance. Its incredibly unlucky to have three teams all from top half of the list I guess we are voting Honved/Malmo but it might be more of a dream tie to just take one of the other two head on. I'd probably say PSV or Sporting would be the biggest name of McInnes era. Link to comment

PSV or Sporting however, we've no hope. I was at the Sporting v PSV Europa League game last November. Sporting battered them 4-0 and Bruno Fernandes ran the show for them. Smashing city is Lisbon. Shame that if we end up drawing them away we don't at least get the consolation of going there and having a food drink in one of the best cities in Europe before we get pumped out. Link to comment

We got teams seeded 4,6 & 12 from 26 seeds. You’d think they could split the seeds into 3 groups and you get one from the top, one from the middle & one from the bottom just for fairness, it can’t be difficult to sort out. Link to comment

Getdoonatwing Posted August 31, 2020 Share Posted August 31, 2020 Not sure how good PSV are... Groningen standard?? Might have a change against them but would rather Honved or Malmo. Sporting Lisbon possibly a tougher draw than Burnley or Real Sociadad. We managed to give both a game before but tough one even as one off leg. Link to comment

The only glimmer would be that PSV’s first league game is the weekend before we’d play them if that’s how it pans out. There’s a chance we could catch them cold. Link to comment
Dons79 Posted August 31, 2020 Share Posted August 31, 2020 Aye PSV have been in decline in quality of player for a few years now, feeling there could be a small chance in a one of game, sporting, no chance would love it if it ended up being honved if we can beat the vikings Link to comment

Ten Caat Posted September 1, 2020 Share Posted September 1, 2020 It isn't even a gimme that we will make Q3. I'd put our chances of beating the Noggies at no better than 45/55 in Noggieland. Strangely enough, if we do make it to round 3....if we got a home draw I'd be quietly confident of taking any of the teams. An away draw and it's curtains though. Link to comment

We can rightly whinge about our shitey luck in the draw IF/AFTER we get through a tricky tie away to Viking Stavanger. It would just be nice to at least be favourites in each round like the huns were the first time they qualified for the group stages, those co-efficient points accrued meaning they were seeded the year after, thereby avoiding the likes of a Sporting Lisbon the year after in QR3/play off.

Sonoftherock Posted September 1, 2020 Share Posted September 1, 2020 Toss of a coin this tie against Viking. The away tie probably suits McInnes. Absolute certainty we'll be backs against the wall, hoping to pinch something from a set piece or a counter attack. Gives us an evens chance I reckon. Link to comment
Medw1311 Posted September 1, 2020 Share Posted September 1, 2020 While Honved would likely be the more winnable game if we somehow beat 1 of the other 3 we'd be seeded for the PO round. Link to comment

Yup, so this is the toughest game we have to win to get to the groups (on paper at least). Home draw avoiding sporting and we've got a decent chance. Link to comment

The big difference this season is that we have players with pace (Hayes, Hedges and Kennedy) who can get the team quickly up the park, unlike the last few seasons where we sat in and was slow in the counter attack.

StandFree1982 Posted September 1, 2020 Share Posted September 1, 2020 In a one off game, we've a chance to beat anyone. However, i'd rather increase the odds by getting the weakest team possible. We gave Real Sociedad a really good game at home, and Burnley as well. So we're more than capable of upsetting teams over one leg. That being said, we still need to beat Viking and that is going to be tough. Link to comment
