Opponent: FK Crvena zvezda
Competition: Uefa Champions League
Date: Wednesday 6th November 2019
Where: Rajko Mitic Stadium, Belgrade, Serbia
Well, our league form is crap, but we can still salvage some relevance to our season with a big chance of having something to look forward to in February if we can get a win here.
It seems this team is not as good as Olympiacos on paper, and it might be a crucial blessing for us that Olymoiacos have a double-header vs Bayern AND that they lost their second game in Belgrade, which looked like it was a result of them having a man sent off in the second half when at that point they were winning. If Olympiacos had won that, we'd be in a VERY perilous position imo...not that we are exactly in a great one, unless we win this.
If we win this, we can then sow up qualification with a win at home vs Olympiacos. Yes, ifs, buts, maybe, etc...it's our mantra now, but it is what it is.
I'd hope for:
Gazza
Aurier Sanchez Vertonghen Davies
Sissoko Ndombele Lo Celso
Son Kane Moura
However, i'd expect:
Gazza
Foyth Alderweireld Vertonghen Rose
Winks Sissoko
Alli Eriksen Son
Kane
COYS
Insert your own badgers, Goldblums, Custard Tarts etc if you can be assed, because i can't...
