AaB Aalborg
A rash of injuries have put a major dent in Aalborg BK’s hopes of overturning a 2-0 loss against Manchester City FC, with visiting manager Mark Hughes pushing his side towards a place in the final in Istanbul.
The Danish champions have defied expectations to survive so long in Europe this season, but their number may now be up with as many as five first-team players set to miss their Round of 16 home game against City.
Manchester City
City had never played a Superligaen side but broke their Danish duck when they met FC Midtjylland in the second qualifying round. They traded 1-0 home defeats with Midtjylland before prevailing 4-2 on penalties. City then overcame FC København in the Round of 32, drawing 2-2 in Denmark and winning 2-1 at home. Thus their record against Danish sides now reads P5 W3 D1 L1. Their two away games in Denmark ended in a draw and a win.
Team News
Strike duo Luton Shelton and Caca will be called on to create havoc for the City back four, a defense that Aalborg and Pehrsson know has been shaky this season and could be the key in overcoming the English side.
Manchester City’s Wales striker Craig Bellamy will not feature in their Uefa Cup tie against AaB Aalborg. Robinho (ankle) is fit, Vincent Kompany (toe) faces a late test and Nigel de Jong is not registered to play as City take a 2-0 lead into the second leg.
Prediction
Aalborg have also been unbeaten at home in the last 7 matches. I also feel that they will chase a win in this 2nd leg. This also based on the fact that Man City’s away record is pretty bad. They have won just 1 of their last 17 away games in all competitions, including no wins on any of their last 10 travels.
My prediction: Aalborg +1/4
