CL Qualifiers:Olimpi Rustavi vs Aktobe -by gudzon
First game ended 2-0 for Aktobe.. and the game was really boring one, home team had playing advantage, and they controlled the game most of the part of the game, but they had only 2-3 scoring chances, and both teams looked very poor in Attack.. First goal came with very questionable penalty kick, and second was after defenders brutal mistake..
How I noted in my previous preview Olimpi is in building process now, they lost their best players, and now they signed 6 ex Wit Georgia players, who have not big experience in Europe.. So I don’t think that we will see something big changes in the tomorrow game, Olimpi will try to win at home, but they have really poor Attackers, and I don’t know how they want to score against very disciplined Aktobe defense..
Aktobe have good handicap to advance next round, and how their coach noted, they will be extra concentrated in defense, not to receive early goal..
Aktobe looked very poor in attack too, and if they will use defensive minded tactic, there will be not many chances to score too, So I think we will see very boring game again, with many battles in the center of the field, and not many scoring chances…
Tomorrow in Rustavi will be very hot weather, about 32-35 degrees, what will make big trouble to players to run..
There is small advantage for hosts because they are playing on artificial pitch, but still I think they will struggle the second time.. Under is my first choice here, and X2 looks very good too..
Pick : Under 2.5
