It could be a tough night for Barry Robson's side in Frankfurt as they kick-off their group stage camapign.
But if Barry Robson was hoping for a gentle European reprieve to get his season going, then it's likely he has another thing coming. The Dons kick off their Europa Conference League group stage campaign away to Eintracht Frankfurt. The Bundesliga cracks are amongst the favourites to win the competition after tasting Europa League glory at Rangers' expense in Seville last year.
So it's going to take a major upset if Aberdeen are to leave Germany with all three points. Even one would be a fantastic start for the new-look Pittodrie side, who have shown little signs of gelling effectively, failing to register a first Premiership win at the weekend after going down 2-0 to Hearts at Tynecastle. Having seen off Levski Sofia in the playoff round, Frankfurt are unbeaten this season, although have had their fair share of 1-1 draws.
Based on their respective form, it could be along night for the Dandies and the Record Sport team agree. Scott Burns It is hard to see past the Germans. They are one of the favourites not only for this game but also the tournament. A result or performance in this game could, however, kickstart the Dons’ season.Keith Jackson There's precious little cause for optimism where Aberdeen’s trip to Germany is concerned. Merely keeping the scoreline respectable would seem like the best Barry Robson can hope for after a dismal start to the domestic campaign.
