der Berliner 3,427 Posted August 31, 2020 Share Posted August 31, 2020 What were the bets that all Scottish teams get away draws ... and what bets would there be that the Scum get a home draw for the third straight game? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

DMAA 3,606 Posted August 31, 2020 Share Posted August 31, 2020 So Willem II, Rio Ave or Hammarby/Lech Poznań for us. Very tough draw when compared to the virtual bye Celtic got. Hopefully Hammarby upset the Poles and we get them. Rio Ave were marginally behind Braga last season in the league so would be very tough for this stage. Lech Poznań marginally behind Legia so again would be tough. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
der Berliner 3,427 Posted August 31, 2020 Share Posted August 31, 2020 ... while the next round looks almost certainly the end of the road for Aberdeen and Motherwell. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frankie 8,221 Posted September 1, 2020 Share Posted September 1, 2020 Still think it could have been worse. We drew Midtjylland at that point last season and disposed of them comfortably enough.... 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We drew Midtjylland at that point last season and disposed of them comfortably enough.... We would go into each game as favourites. It's purely a matter of how likely an upset would be, and these are strong teams for this stage of the competition. We have a benchmark of sorts in that we've played against teams from these leagues last season. Rio Ave - 5 points behind Braga in 5th Willem II - 6 points behind Feyenoord having played 1 game more, in 5th Lech Poznan - 3 points behind Legia in 2nd Hammarby - No benchmark, but finished a point behind Djurgarden, who lost 2-0 to Ferencvaros. In 7th so far this season after 18 games Away from home the first three in particular would be tricky. Rio Ave the main team to avoid I think. But we are definintely favourites. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whosthedado 1,562 Posted September 1, 2020 Share Posted September 1, 2020 I don't fear any of these teams to be honest and I think that's the way it should be after the last few season's exploits 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gonzo79 14,145 Posted September 1, 2020 Author Share Posted September 1, 2020 Under Gerrard, we've been really good in Europe but the one-leg, no crowd situation might alter things a bit. Given our history in Europe, I tend to remain pessimistic - AEK Athens, Unirea Thingybob and Kaunas always remain at the back of my mind. There are some decent sides in the next qualifier and matches, particularly if we're drawn away from home, won't be easy. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
