Headline: Europa League Playoff Round Preview: Aberdeen Faces Tough Test Against FCSB
Aberdeen's home form has been under scrutiny, with the Scottish side losing 16 games and winning only 5 of their 27 league games at Pittodrie since December. This poor run of form has raised concerns, especially as they prepare to face FCSB in the Europa League playoff round.
Meanwhile, FCSB has been in impressive form, scoring 11 goals in their last 5 matches. Romanian striker Daniel Birligea has been a key player, scoring 2 goals for FCSB in the Europa League qualification against Aberdeen. Both goals came in the first leg, where FCSB initially led 2-0 before the match ended 2-2.
Aberdeen, however, have shown signs of a resurgence, winning their last match 3-0 against Greenock Morton in the Scottish League Cup. Jimmy Thelin, Aberdeen's boss, will be hoping for a repeat performance to turn their fortunes around.
Elsewhere, Utrecht, who had won their previous 5 games before the loss to Sparta Rotterdam, are favourites to beat Zrinjski Mostar. Utrecht has odds of 7-10 to win, a bet that can be placed at bet365, Coral, and Ladbrokes. Utrecht's attack has been prolific, scoring 12 goals in their Europa League qualifying matches.
Slovan Bratislava, on the other hand, has been in scintillating form at home, scoring 15 goals in their last 6 matches. They are priced at 2-1 to beat Young Boys, a bet that can be placed at bet365, Betfair, and Paddy Power. Young Boys have struggled recently, losing 4-1 at Basel in their last match, and have only won 1 game in their last 4.
