Aberdeen continue to look for their first win in Europe this season when they host Eintracht Frankfurt in the final round of the group stages of the 2023-24 UEFA Europa Conference League campaign.
While the Dons have put in some good displays in Europe, avoiding defeat in three of their last four Europa Conference League games, this closing game at Pittodrie is essentially a dead rubber. The hosts cannot qualify for the knockout round, while the visitors are unable to finish higher than second.
After a six-game winless skid in all competitions, Aberdeen got back to winning ways at the weekend when they came from behind to beat Hearts 2-1 in the Scottish Premiership thanks to a 92nd-minute winner by Leighton Clarkson.
Frankfurt, meanwhile, snapped a four-game winless run in style at the weekend as they battered Bundesliga champions Bayern Munich 5-1 in Frankfurt, but they still sit just seventh in the table.

Team news & squads
Aberdeen team news
This is a massive week for Aberdeen as this final Europa Conference League clash with Eintracht Frankurt is followed just a few days later by a League Cup Final against Rangers. Head coach Barry Robson will likely field a shadow side in this dead-rubber game to keep his top men fresh for the Hampden showdown with Rangers.
Star man Bojan Miovski hobbled off in last Saturday's 2-1 victory against Hearts, and while the issue is not deemed to be serious, he might not be risked in Thursday's clash with Frankfurt.
