-------------------------------------------
Aberdeen and FCSB face off at Pittodrie Stadium in the first leg of their Europa League playoff. Aberdeen start at this stage, while FCSB advanced after exiting Champions League qualifying.
Team Analysis:
Aberdeen aim to reach the Europa League group stage after winning the Scottish Cup and progressing in qualifiers, despite a slow league start. FCSB, Romanian champions, also target the group phase after dropping from Champions League qualifying and winning recent Europa League qualifiers, though their domestic form is shaky. Both teams seek a strong first-leg result ahead of the home return match.
Player Situation:
Aberdeen will likely keep a similar lineup to their recent cup win, with captain Graeme Shinnie returning to midfield. Adil Aouchiche is expected to support striker Kusini Yengi upfront. FCSB will probably field the same squad as in their last Europa League qualifier, featuring key players Florin Tanase, Daniel Birligea, Juri Cisotti, and David Miculescu leading the attack.
Result Prediction:
FCSB’s strong European form suggests they can contain a struggling Aberdeen in Thursday’s first leg before the decisive match in Romania.
Predicted Result: Aberdeen 1-1 FCSB.
