Aberdeen vs Burnley Prediction & Betting tips
In the Europa League season 2018/19 is the second qualifying round this week. At Aberdeen’s Pittodry Stadium, there is an interesting British duel: Aberdeen’s last season’s Scottish Premiership third, meets Burnley’s last season’s Premier League surprise team. Burnley finished the final season of the Premier League in seventh place and can therefore ran in the Europa League. This was made possible because champions Manchester City won the League Cup and Manchester United and Chelsea FC denied the Cup final. For Burnley, rank 7 meant the best finish in the final classification since the 1973-74 season and the third European Cup history, the first since the 1966/67 season. Can Burnley now reach the group stage? For the first leg between Aberdeen and Burnley we found a tip with lucrative odds.
Aberdeen:
Aberdeen finished the 2017/18 season in third place in the Scottish Premiership, tied with second-placed Glasgow Rangers, 13 points behind champions Celtic. At home, the Dons won ten out of 16 games and nine out of 17 games away. So far Aberdeen won the Scottish Cup four times and the Scottish Cup seven times. The last national title, however, dates back to 1990. The biggest success of the club’s history was in 1983, when Aberdeen won the European Cup Winners’ Cup. Closely related to this successful period is the coaching office of Sir Alex Ferguson, who oversaw the club from 1978 to 1986. The latest international success comes from the 2007-08 season, when they reached the last 32 in the UEFA Cup.
In recent years, Aberdeen has always failed in the Europa League qualification: 2016 came the end against NK Maribor, 2017 against Apollon Limassol. In preparation for the new season, the “Dons” completed five friendly matches: 1-0 against Falkirk, 2-2 against St. Johnstone FC, 1-2 against Cove Rangers and 1-1 against West Brom Albion. The new season in Scotland starts on 4 August. Aberdeen starts with a home game against the Rangers in the new season. The topscorer Adam Rooney and Kenny McLean had to be relinquished. From Ipswich came Stephen Gleeson. Add to that the young Lewis Ferguson and Chris Forrester. Hopes rest on Stevie May, who scored five goals and six assists in the last season. In the last 16 home games, there was only one defeat for the Dons.
Burnley:
The really successful times of Burnley are a long time ago: In 1921 and 1960, the club was English champion and brought in 1914 the FA Cup. After a long period of excellence between 1947 and 1971 Burnley slipped off in the mid-seventies even in the fourth league. Only in 2010 succeeded in returning to the Premier League. But after a year, the Clarets had to down again and then remained four years in the second league. Even in the 2014/15 season could hold only a year in the Premier League. In the season 2015/16 succeeded the immediate resurgence. Since then, the Burnley FC plays first-class. The team is trained since the 2013/14 season by Sean Dyche. Burnley was able to outclass teams like Everton, Leicester, Newcastle or West Ham in the final Premier League season as table-top finalists. While the “Clarets” landed with only seven wins in front of their own fans in the home table on only 14th place, the club was the sixth best team on the away table. For example, Sean Dyche’s team scored 12 points more away from Arsenal in London and just four away from Liverpool.
Top teams like Chelsea, Tottenham, Liverpool and Manchester United were unbeaten. Now the coach wants to make the club gradually a constant size in the Premier League. How difficult it is, showed in the past season, the example of Stoke City. Stoke City played in the season 2011/12 Europa League and had to go after the last season the gear in the second English league. Apart from the top six, according to Dyche, no Premier League team is completely safe from the relegation battle. Steven Defour and Robbie Brady can not play because of an injury in the first leg. So far, Burnley has not committed a single new player for the new season. The club wants to be active. But the transfer window in the Premier League closes on 9 August. However, one could keep his main players as well. Best striker last season was the New Zealander Chris Wood with ten Premier League goals in 24 games. With the Icelander Johann Berg Gudmundsson, the club also has a World Cup participant who has returned to his club after the preliminary round of the Vikings. In the preparation Burnley completed four games: 1-0 against Cork City, 3-2 against Preston Nord End, 0-1 against Shrewsbury Town and 0-2 against Blackpool. In the last seven away games Burnley conceded only one defeat, at Arsenal London. Before that, however, they had to accept a series of eight away games without a win.
