Ash Thursday for Motherwell

Tomorrow night Motherwell will attempt to reach the 3rd qualifying round of the Europa League when they are in Iceland to take on Breidablik , the first leg finished 1-0 to "well" and hopefully they can finish the job against the Icelandic high flyer's.

Breidablik continued their fine form in the Icelandic league with a 2-0 win away from home against 4Th place Keflavik , this result still keeps them top on goal difference.

The Motherwell team travels with a full squad , so don't be surprised if manager Craig Brown selects the same team who basically kept the Icelanders to only a few chances in the 2nd half. Brown has also said that Motherwell will not sit back , GOOD , Motherwell should be looking to go here and getting that vital away goal. With that competitive match under their belt Motherwell should be more match fit although the Breidablik team will still have the advantage in fitness as they are now more than half way through their season.

As mentioned in my previous post the match fitness and extra training of another week should be the difference , Motherwell have all the experience here , Brown and Knox will have seen this sort of game 100 times before during their times with Scotland and Rangers , that's why i see Motherwell making it through to the 3rd round as i can see the Scottish side scoring but not conceding 3 in reply.

Prediction - Breidablik 1 v 1 Motherwell , again hopefully a "well" win as it helps Scotland co-efficient
