PREVIEW
It’s often the way that the high profile matches produce dull football and for the neutrals that was typified last night with the Europa League Final between Benfica and Sevilla which most of us gave up on the will to live by the time the penalty shootout finally ended the saga.
The problem is that the fear of losing outweighs the desire for braveness and victory so you end up with a game of chess where no player is willing to take a risk.
The play offs in the UK are pretty much the same. It’s rare to see more than two goals – and even though that trend was broken on Tuesday when Leyton Orient beat Peterborough 2-1 – it was only 1-0 aat 88 minutes before some late drama.
Leyton Orient will now face the winners of Rotherham v Preston tonight.
The first leg ended as a 1-1 draw and both encounters during the season proper also resulted in draws.
Like Tuesday night, we feel home advantage may just swing it. Rotherham have lost two of their last 23 matches and Preston only come into this level thanks to a wonder volley from Joe Garner at Deepdale.
