Going by the highlights, This looks like it'll be the first away game where you could say there will be abit of an atmosphere when we're the away side Lets see what the players are made of. We have nothing to fear going by watching the highlights of both legs, Totally different mindset from the previous few seasons where we have just went to try and nullify the opposition and hope for the best.

I went to 2 Qarabag Euro games 2 seasons ago in that stadium. APOEL and Sevilla. Yes, it's pretty hostile the feeling from sitting in the stands, especially from the end where their bampots gather. Pretty crazy looking in there. But... it's all a fair distance from the pitch and really shallow sloped, nae steep, so less intimidating in those respects for sure. Link to comment
Singapore Steve Posted August 13, 2021 Share Posted August 13, 2021 That pitch looks shite, could affect our new passing style of play. Think it will be tasty and predict Brown to cause some trouble as that team look well up for a bit of barney. Link to comment
Singapore Steve Posted August 13, 2021 Share Posted August 13, 2021 Looks similar to the stadium that Danny Ward made his debut for us. Link to comment

Ten Caat Posted August 13, 2021 Share Posted August 13, 2021 My feeling is we will lose in Baku and win the home leg. So really have to ensure that the away loss is as minimal as possible. Keep it to a single goal defeat and I think we win the tie. 2 goal defeat and we take them to extra time. A 3 goal or worse defeat and its curtains. JET must play no part in the away leg.

Massive numbers on our level… Conference League: Group Stage: €2,94m Per win: €500k Per draw: €166k 1st place: €650k 2nd place: €325k And that doesn’t take into account gate receipts: Say 60,000 paying an average of £25 is £1.5m Take off expenses etc you’re still looking at £1m+ So, converting the above prize money to pounds, qualifying for the group stage & even winning 1 & drawing 1, with gate money, you’re talking about £4.5m or thereabouts (minus expenses of hosting the games, travel etc) Game changer at our level.

Andy_123 Posted August 13, 2021 Share Posted August 13, 2021 Are those win/draw prizes the same for the qualifiers as well? Link to comment

Medw1311 Posted August 13, 2021 Author Share Posted August 13, 2021 I see that 2 of our previous euro opponents, Fola Esch and Kairat Almaty, are playing each other for a place in the group stage. Link to comment
Dave Bus Posted August 13, 2021 Share Posted August 13, 2021 Would definitely take a draw next week, now away goals isn’t an issue. Link to comment
Rowan A Posted August 13, 2021 Share Posted August 13, 2021 How about every Aberdeen fan who plans to go to the home leg buys and waves an Armenian flag. Good way to wind the knobs up Link to comment
fine-n-dandy Posted August 13, 2021 Share Posted August 13, 2021 For the few that are saying Mcinnes had tougher games in Europe than Glass so far. I am 100% confident that we wouldn’t have gotten past either of those two teams with Mcinnes’s tactical approach to games. Especially of the last few seasons where defending one goal leads & reverting to ‘game management’ was the ORDERS Link to comment

I think McInnes of old would have won those ties aswell though. Recent McInnes as you say would have been bombed out 1 Link to comment
