It was a tough one to take for Aberdeen on opening day but there's plenty of reason to optimistic as HJK Helsinki come to town tonight.
The Dons went down 2-1 to Eintracht Frankfurt but their battling performance against one of the tournament favourites acted as the catalyst for a Pittodrie revival.
Since then they've won three on the spin - twice against Ross County and then against Rangers at Ibrox - and go into tonight's clash in flying form.
Finnish side Helsinki are no mugs though and will be confident of coming to the north east and causing a stir. They have a point to prove after their opening day defeat to PAOK and travel with a six-point lead at the top of the Finnish top flight under their belts.
