2-0 for Hibs. I think Lenny will working very hard with the players regarding defensive work.

Despite the most recent evidence, defensive personnel are solid. I predict an unconvincing 2-0 win against a Greek team still settling in. Boyle with a brace.

They are a damn tricky side to play, every fan of other greek clubs say the same, they are very tough to play at their ground., beatable when away but rarely by a big nargin



I think it wil be 1-0 or 1-1 ( but I am always pessimistic)

I think we need a win, that much is clear, although 0-0 draw wouldnt be a disaster, we clearly want far better

Gonna be brutal here, but I am having serious doubts about our chances in this match. In the Blackburn game for long periods we looked disjointed and our midfield was destroyed in the 2nd half ….. I appreciate it was only a pre season friendly with lots of personnel changes during the game so I wasn't too bothered at the time. But for me that shakiness continued into the first leg of our last tie, where from what I saw a better team would have taken another couple of goals off us, Runavik had a few chances to get round us which weren't taken because of a lack of quality, not because of great defending by us.

Its easy to chalk off the 4 goals we lost in the away leg to the pitch, the weather or simply carelessness in a tie we had already won, but losing goals can become a bad habit and its one that started at the end of last season, not just the beginning of this one.

If we are to get through this tie we have to do it at home because I just cant see us winning in Greece … the trouble with that is that no matter how dangerous we might be up front we are going to ship goals unless we improve enormously at the back from our last few outings. IMO anything less than a 2 - 0 win will see us go out ….. the two we are certainly capable of … the nil is an entirely different matter and I just can see it.

The only thing giving me any optimism is that the Greeks apparently have a pretty new side from last season which could mean they aren't quite up to it as a unit yet and they are renowned as being poor travellers in Europe historically. For our sake I hope we see that side of them tomorrow night.

1-0 Hibs

Tense game with not much separating both sides. Mallan free kick to settle it

2-1 Asteras in return with us going through on away goals !!!

3-2 or 3-1 Hibs.

Our match fitness advantage should help but we are leaking goals badly at the moment, as said above Runavik had a few half chances in the 1st leg that a better side may have taken and we all know what happened in the 2nd leg, whatever the reasons.

I worry that neither result will be enough going away from home as I'm sceptical we have the disciplined away European performance to secure a 0-0 in our arsenal. I argued we should have used the away leg in the Faroes to trial such a performance but plenty others seemed happy it descended into a Sunday league kick about so maybe I'm wrong.

This is my most optimistic view. Fear it might be a stuffy 0-0 tonight and a 2-0 defeat in Greece. We’ll see.

A clean sheet is vital. If we can the sneak a goal I would be delighted.

Patience from the fans if the games going slow and backing the team will help massively.

TelaStella
26-07-2018, 06:58 AM
The whole round depends massively on us doing our home business well tonight as playing away to anyone in the likes of Greece will be always be tough, look how the sheep struggled last year in Cyprus. I reckon we’ll score but really don’t know what to expect from our opponents. 2-0 hibs would do.

big Marv needs to be in the holding role tonight.

not if we play 3 centre halfs he doesnt. there is no place for marv in that system. any time we have tried it we have been devoid of any creativity.

tonight should see a midfield 3 of Slivka, SJM and Mallan

2-1 Hibs tonight. I'm basing that on a complete whim because I have absolutely no idea how good Tripolis are likely to be.
I see Molde v Laci is a 6pm kick off, unfortunately I checked liveonsat and it's not being broadcast anywhere so no opportunity to get a look at those 2.

Marv must not start. He doesn't have the pace to play in these games anymore. He was badly shown up in the Faroes.

Impossible to say really, as fans i'd imagine 99% of us are going in totally blind here.

The Greek league I'd imagine will still be a decent standard although probably not as good as previously, so I reckon we'll have it tough over the next couple of games. Not to say we can't win but I don't think we'll be taking a 3-0 lead or such like over to Greece. Any sort of clean sheet result tonight is decent IMO and a 1-0 win would be a superb result.

"We'll need to be patient and try not to get emotional in the game. It's a different culture of football, the referee might see the game differently from British referees.


I'm glad Lennon said this, We might need to be very patient tonight.

Asteras have been in the group stages 3 of the last 4 years?

We have been nowhere near that level.

Despite the optimism on here any sort of result for us is a bonus. We must be massive underdogs.

Tin hat on but I do admire the optimism on here. I just hope disappointment doesn't lead to inquests and howls for heads.

Interview with Lennon literally just put on the EEN website saying he's coping well with the speculation and will definitely play.

Don’t think your first paragraph is correct FF .
Sure I read they had reached the group stages twice in five years ( still impressive)
They are currently sitting in fifth place in their Greek league.
If we keep a clean sheet tonight and score , we would be in a great position for the second leg .
2-0 is my prediction but knowing Hibs of late ,it could be 5-3 .

Having never seen the opposition find it impossible to predict score. Just because they play in Greece doesn't t make them good or bad. Just hope we play to our strengths and win without conceding.

1-1. We haven’t improved the squad from last season, yet, so I think we will fall short unfortunately.

2-0 win would be wonderful tonight then look to steal a goal next week.

Our opponents will a mixture of Greek, Argentinian and Spanish players with an African thrown in for good measure.
Possibly the Hamilton of Greek football.

They don't appear to have any big hitters but time, as ever, will tell.
Looking forward to joining my fellow Hibees in 2 hours time to find out.

We need to win and do so comfortably, if Lennon has done his job we will be better this evening all over the park - 3-0 would be fine, but 2-1 is what I am really expecting ... looking forward to the game anyway ...

Looking at two of their last few league games from last season includes a win over POAK and a draw vs Panathanikos. Two excellent teams themselves. Tripoli are a very good team.
