Midweek Schedule Nov 26th

Happy Thanksgiving for those of you in the US.  Only Europa matches this week all on Thursday.


Park Joo Ho and BVB at Krasnodar.  11 AM on Fox Sports 1.  As Park Joo Ho was left off and the stakes fairly low for EL, PJH has a fair chance of starting.  UPDATE:  Park Joo Ho was left at home so we'll look to see if he starts Sunday instead.


Son Heung Min and Tottenham at Qarabag: 1PM on Fox Sports 1.  With Chelsea on the weekend, it remains to be seen how Pochettino lines them up.  I think he might want to get Son scoring to keep his confidence going so he has a decent chance of starting, and being on the bench if not.  UPDATE: Son travelled and lots of alternates were left home so I imagine he'll start.


Ji Dong Won / Koo Ja Cheol / Hong Jeong Ho and Augsburg host Athletic Bilbao.  1PM on Fox Soccer 2 Go.  With the fight up the Bundesliga table being the primary objective,  we will see how Weinzierl lines them up vs the group leaders.  I think Ji Dong Won will get the start as he's fresh and Weinzierl will want to keep building Ji's confidence and form.  Koo was rested early... was it to rest him after international travel or to save him for Thursday?  I suspect Koo will be rested though but a bench appearance is strongly possible.  Hong Jeong Ho is still out for now.
