Ramandu Posted August 31, 2020 Share Posted August 31, 2020 All the seeded teams are away this round, so likely to be a few upsets. Hopefully the seed we draw gets put out in QR2. Link to comment

BrianFaePerth Posted August 31, 2020 Share Posted August 31, 2020 Sorry boys, my money is on Viking, they’re a decent side when they want to be. Watch for Veton Berisha, he’s a good player except when he played for Brann, where he was utter shite Link to comment

McInnes will enjoy playing a counter attack/set piece performance. Link to comment

Our game against Motherwell will need to move to Sunday 20th Kind of a pity we aren’t playing Killie away, for a decent pre match prep for Vikings plastic pitch. Link to comment

OddJob Posted August 31, 2020 Share Posted August 31, 2020 Tough enough game but if we can keep our current form going then see no reason - even away from home - not to progress to next round Link to comment
King Street Loon Posted August 31, 2020 Share Posted August 31, 2020 We should safely navigate this round. Anything less is unacceptable. Link to comment
fine-n-dandy Posted August 31, 2020 Share Posted August 31, 2020 Think it was winning their domestic cup last season rather than league position that got Viking into Europa. cannot remember where they finished in league. Link to comment
Dons21 Posted August 31, 2020 Share Posted August 31, 2020 They did win the cup in Norway last year, but also finished 5th in the league which is a Europa league qualification spot. Link to comment

Proud Dandy Posted August 31, 2020 Share Posted August 31, 2020 The draw could have been slightly kinder, however if we can’t take care of this lot we won’t be reaching the playoff round anyway. I think being the away team suits us, we have a good defensive shape and have players with pace now to hit on the counter. We score first and we go through. Link to comment
Jackp Posted August 31, 2020 Share Posted August 31, 2020 Anyone know when the pots for the draw tomorrow are announced or what website can find them on? Think the pots for today’s draw was posted around this time last night 1 Link to comment

Don Shula Posted August 31, 2020 Share Posted August 31, 2020 Groups now out. We will draw either PSV Sporting Honved/Malmo Link to comment
aberdeen1970 Posted August 31, 2020 Share Posted August 31, 2020 Bring them on. We were never going to get an easy tie at that stage anyway. Link to comment
Andy_123 Posted August 31, 2020 Share Posted August 31, 2020 If we have aspirations of making the group stages, we shouldn't be looking at a team like Viking as a problem. PSV or Sporting however, we've no hope. Link to comment
Jackp Posted August 31, 2020 Share Posted August 31, 2020 don’t know how they work out the pots but sporting and PSV in the same pot is a tough one, hopefully get Honved/Malmo but confident we can give PSV or sporting a run for their money Link to comment
strachanmcgheegoal Posted August 31, 2020 Share Posted August 31, 2020 Is it back to 2 legs by then? Link to comment

WesthillWanderersFC Posted August 31, 2020 Share Posted August 31, 2020 Two shitey draws. To get Sporting Lisbon & PSV Eindhoven in the one pot is shite when you compare a few of the other pots. Honvéd or Malmö at home we have a chance, although closed door negates that I suppose. Away from home against either of those two, or drawing the other two at home or away, & it’s over for another year at QR3..... assuming we get past Viking Stavanger. I see the huns have got their customary “gimme” Link to comment
Proud Dandy Posted August 31, 2020 Share Posted August 31, 2020 Brutal draw for q3, if fans were allowed in grounds as normal at least there would be a potential cracking away trip on the cards... Link to comment
Guest milne_afc Posted August 31, 2020 Share Posted August 31, 2020 Gr8 to see the positivity after yesterday's 1-0 defeat of Hibs(lol) has been met with some realism. Link to comment
Yorston Vasey Posted August 31, 2020 Share Posted August 31, 2020 Motherwell will get pumped regardless, but looks like their potential opponents are all at a lower level than both Sporting Lisbon & PSV. Seeded1 Bačka Topola (SRB) or FCSB (ROU)2 Osijek (CRO) or Basel (SUI)3 Laç (ALB) or Hapoel Beer-Sheva (ISR)4 IFK Göteborg (SWE) or Copenhagen (DEN) Link to comment

The huns look a stick on for the Play Off round... they’re seeded so will obviously get an easier draw, they should beat no matter who they get. Tims the same, they’re draw is even easier.
