What sort of result do you think we will get tonight?

Hoping for a composed two nil win, but expecting the worst!

PF has said we have a number if injury worries at the back with McGivern looking like missing out with Mullen not match fit.

Back four of

Forster McPake Hanlon Lewis

Harris also a doubt with a thigh strain??

[HH81]

I think we will lose 2-1.

[Keith_M]

I'm feeling quite negative about this tie at the moment, as I'm not convinced we have a real 'team' yet.

What I mean by that is that there have been a number of changes since last season, including the obvious, Griffiths, and it's too early to say we have anything that approaches a decent squad that can play together as a unit. We need both further additions and time to gel.

i'm thinking we will lose by at least 2 goals

[SlickShoes]

It's still pre season, folk are unfit, injured, still in holiday mode, we will lose 2-0. I want Hibs to be up for it but I can't see it, every time we enter a tournament this early we do badly against any sort of organised side.

Same here.

[GREEN WARLORD]

The optomist in me has voted for a score draw.

[Dunderhall]

Best I can see is a narrow defeat.
Just hope we can pinch a goal.

[HUTCHYHIBBY]

Much the same outcome as the Elfsborg game/tie.

[PeeJay]

I hope Fenlon has had his team working extra hard, that he has given them a solid game plan, that the team is really up for it and that we put in a decent performance - I voted that I expect us to be beaten by more than 2 though - I'm hoping that we can keep it to 1-0 or 2-1 that would be an achievement and make for a great return leg - I'd take a win too though

Sadly, I agree. I don't see St Johnstone doing much better against Rosenburg either.

Are you sure?

Sorry, couldn't resist...

[Fife-Hibee]

I dont think they wont be up for it, but everything is in Malmo's favour.

We dont have match fitness and havent played a competitive game in months, we are still in the process of assembling the squad, who overall arent particularly experienced in Europe (apart from KT really), and are playing a team who are flying in their own league. Even Drogheda were in a better position than us given that they were well into their domestic season.

I think we will get beat, but hopefully we can take it back to ER with something to play for (a 3-0 drubbing and its over).

[Onion]

2-0 to them if we play well and keep it tight. HFC is a holiday camp for unfit players these days and expect Malmo to be too experienced and professional for us. Expect a lesson in how to play Euro footie tonight.

[basehibby]

Instead of the prediction I've opted for the exercise in wishful thinking - score draw !

Sorry but don't get the bit about HFC being a holiday camp for unfit players.

They'll be fit but maybe not match fit as the season hasn't started whereas theirs has.

I am positive we will score. But also think they will.

1-1 draw or 2-1 defeat for me.

.

Stunning insight, please elaborate

[ballengeich]

I see the poll closes at 9:49 tomorrow morning. Anyone know a betting site with the same closing time?

[Hibs90]

Hope score draw or a win of course although I think it's unlikely and Malmo will probably win by one or two goals.

[Mango Man]

Going for a 1-1, an away goal is really a must for us, I think we can do it.

[Hibee87]

2-0 Hibs, there I said it goals from Vine and Craig

[NOLA]

2-0 malmo

[Liams]

I feel anythig can happen at ER if they score 1 or 2 goals, i just feel that of we get a spawny early goal then the tie is in ourfavor for the return

I don't get this argument. It is not pre-season, it is the 1st game of the season. We should be fit and ready and certainly should be out of holiday mode. If we're not then it is miss-management. I do agree though that we have always struggled when we've played European games before the SPL starts, especially against Scandinavian teams.

[southsider]

As long as we are still in the tie after the game tonight....an offer of any 1 goal defeat and i would bite your hand off.

From the Sun

Hibernian manager Pat Fenlon is facing an injury crisis ahead of the Europa League second qualifying round first leg against Malmo in Sweden, with Tim Clancy, Ryan McGivern and Fraser Mullen expected to be missing.

More evidence that we need another defender in and have done since the start of last season.

Any ideas why Pat hasn't bothered to address this in getting on for at least year? Budget issues may have had an impact but surely not for a year.
