Aberdeen’s UEFA Europa Conference League group stage campaign kicks off in just over 48 hours with a tough match against Eintracht Frankfurt in Germany. The Dons are struggling with low confidence after a poor start to the season, having only earned two points from their first five Premiership matches. This has been their worst league start since 1999 and they are currently second bottom of the table.
Barry Robson’s team has won just once in eight matches across all competitions this season, with a narrow victory against Stirling Albion being their only bright spot. Despite expectations of a heavy defeat against Eintracht Frankfurt, Robson hopes that his players can at least put up a good fight in front of the Aberdeen supporters. The match will be televised in the UK on TNT Sport (formerly known as BT Sport), with coverage starting at 5pm ahead of the 5.45pm kick-off.
Cypriot referee Chrysovalandis Theouli will officiate the match, with Montenegrin official Goran Mihaljevic serving as UEFA’s referee observer. Team news is yet to be announced, but updates will be provided as soon as they are available.
