Hacken vs. Aberdeen Betting Tips: Two bets for Europa League Play-Off
Aberdeen travel to Gothenburg on Thursday (6pm) where they face Sweden champions BK Hacken in the first-leg of their Europa League qualifier.
The hosts, who are 20 games into their new league season, hammered FK Zalgaris 8-1 in the third qualifying round while Aberdeen have only played three competitive matches since May.
Hacken have been installed as the 4/6 favourites to win on the night, Aberdeen are priced at 4/1 to take a victory into the home second-leg, while a draw is available at 13/4.
Check out our two best bets below.
Hacken vs Aberdeen Tips
Hacken may have missed out on penalties in the Champions League qualifiers but they responded in style with an 8-1 aggregate thumping of Zalgris in the Europa League third qualifying round.
Unlike Aberdeen, the Swedish champions have plenty of games in the bank, having resumed their season in April.
They are currently second in the table - one point behind IF Elfsborg - and have scored a whopping 50 goals in their 20 league games to date, seven more goals than any other side in the league.
Their home form has been particularly impressive. Per-Mathias Hogmo's side have won 12 of their 15 home games in all competitions, with those games containing a combined 64 goals.
A home win and both teams to score have occurred in nine of those 12 wins, which is a bet I like the look of on Thursday at 2/1 (Bet Victor), given the club's dominant home form and fondness for goals.
As for Aberdeen, they've had an average start to the season with a win, draw, and a defeat, while stretching back to last season they've lost 12 of their last 17 matches on the road.
For the second bet we're steering into the anytime goalscorer market where we're backing Hacken's Ibrahim Sadiq to find the back of the net at 13/8 with William Hill.
Sadiq has been in fantastic form since the Swedish season got under way in April, scoring 12 goals in his 16 matches.
He has four goals in his last four games, scored against Sirius over the weekend, and prior to that bagged a brace against Zallgris in the Europa League.
