Aberdeen vs Hacken Gothenburg Prediction & Betting Tips - Europa League
by Daniel Ngulu in Europa League Predictions
Scottish side Aberdeen will be at home to host Hacken in their Europa League playoff return leg clash on Thursday. Coming into this game, the two sides are tied at 2-2 from the first leg. Aberdeen had to stage a stunning comeback from 2-0 down to stay in this tie. Bojan Miovski and Nicky Devlin scored the goals four minutes apart to keep their hopes alive. Mioski would come to their rescue again over the weekend. He got the equalizer as they played to a 2-2 draw with St. Mirren. That was his fourth straight goal in as many matches. While Aberdeen have been great in attack, spearheaded by Miovski, they aren’t as good defensively. In the last four matches they have no clean sheet and conceded two or more in three. Each of those four matches have seen over 2.5 goals scored. The last time Aberdeen played in the Europa League at home was in 2020. Back then they thrashed NSI 6-0 for their third win in four in the competition.
Hacken are here after their elimination from the Champions League qualifiers. They will feel hard done by after their first leg miss. The Swedish side should have won it comfortably but in the end even finished with 10 men. Johan Hammar was sent off in the 90th minute and will miss this encounter. However, with four goals in four matches, Ibrahim Sadiq will be a reliable man for Hacken. He did score in the opening leg and will be expected to lead the line here. Like Aberdeen, Hacken will also come into this game worried about their defensive performances. They have conceded two or more in each of their last three matches. In their most recent game, Hacken lost 4-2 away to IFK Goteborg. The positive for them is that they’ve scored two or more goals in each of their last five matches. All their last four games have had over 2.5 goals, with both teams scoring in the last three.
