[Matchday] AIK V Celtic Thursday August 29th 6PM Premier Sports

2-0 Celtic

 

Won their last league game 3-1 away to Osterunds but they were level until the 89th minute where they scored a quick double, Osterunds were down to 10 men for most of the second half too. I think we'll probably concede but they don't score a lot of goals, get one over there and they'd need to score 4. Elyounoussi will make a difference for them and will 100% be the guy to look out for, providing he's fit (he went off after 30 minutes today)

I think we'll win 2-1, and i'd go with this team:

Gordon
Elhamed Ajer Jullien Boli
Brown Mcgregor
Christie
Forrest Edouard Johnstone​

Bring on Ntcham, Bayo and Griffiths in the second half, might be risky playing Elhamed if he's not 100% so we could see Ajer at RB and Simunovic playing.

 

They won 3-1 today

 

just as we did… the magic is Rising

 

Going for a 1-1 draw , no injuries please chaps.

 

We,ll win by two clear goals just as we did in the first game.

These guys are nothing special and we will finish them off.

 

Feels like you have more Words on this mate...

 

Elyounoussi came off after 30 mins, injured I presume

 

Goes without saying an early away goal should be enough to demoralize them and see us through.

Bayo and Eddy on the park from the start for me, get the goal or two, go into a more defensive posture for a while, then go and give a couple of the newer lads like Shved a bit of game time in the last fifteen or so.

2-1 Celtic.

.

 

I still fear for us at the back I really do.

1-1 or can see them sneaking a win 2-1 but as long as we go through I don’t care

 

Just dont give them the ball. They csnt score without the ball. Nice easy game of keep ball. Theyll be all greeting back to mummy because the bigger boys never let them play with the ball. Get it up them!!!! 4-0.

 

No way we play 2 strikers, away from home... we'll play 451 or 541, and we'll probably do all we can to keep our powder dry for Sevco at the weekend

 

No live TV coverage ?

 

We should be comfortable against them as they need goals and will have to attack, We have enough middle to front to hurt them so i am hoping that we get an early goal and spend the rest of the night looking good and saving energy

2-1 to the bhoys.. late goal for either side when its too late to change the game

 

I know your right.

I cant see Lenny experimenting too much here, especially after the cluj game and with this being his only chance to redeem himself European football wise.

That's just what I would do, but then it's probably for good reason that I'm not a football manager :lenny2:

 

Understandable after Cluij but i think people are giving this lot to much respect.

Their nothing specials and we should finish them off no problem.

 

AIK STOCKHOLM face a major sweat over star striker Tarik Elyounoussi ahead of their Europa League clash with Celtic after he limped off at the weekend.

The Norwegian hitman was suspended for the first leg in Glasgow and had previously written Celtic off after insisting AIK had nothing to be afraid of.

But he was taken off in the first half of their 3-1 weekend win against Ostersund after a calf injury.

Now AIK’s top scorer will get scans done this week to discover how bad the extent of the injury is.


Like Celtic, the Stockholm club also have a masive city derby at the weekend after the Europa League clash. They face Djurgardens in a top of the table clash.

Elyounoussi said: “I’m hoping the injury isn’t too bad because we have two really important games this week against Celtic and Djurgardens.


I came off because I didn’t want to take any chances and make the injury worse.

“It feels sore now, but I am praying it’s not too bad. I will get a scan once it settles down.”

 

Premier Sports are ‘hopeful’

 

Any away goal will see them needing 4, 1 goal basically puts us through.
