Back Under 2.5 Goals @ 1.664/6 in Aberdeen v Maribor

The Violets of Slovenia are hardly in a purple patch and Tobias Gourlay's not getting excited about their trip to Scotland tonight

Aberdeen v Maribor
Thursday 19:45


Nothing legendary about yesterday's game in the end. Goalless in Piraeus means we're still winless for the week.

Maybe the Europa League's more our level. Against the odds, perhaps, it's Aberdeen's first-leg qualifier with Slovenia's Maribor that's caught our eye.

Across all competitions (including a couple of rogue friendlies) each of Maribor's last six games have finished with two match goals or fewer. We fancy the Violets to make it a less than magnificent seven north of the border this evening.

Their hosts tonight have seen both teams score in just one of their four European qualifiers so far this summer. Brace yourselves for tabloid headlines about Mari-bore tomorrow morning.
