Aberdeen have had a disastrous European campaign and sit at the bottom of the Conference League standings. Their situation is unlikely to change because they face Strasbourg Alsace, who are confidently leading the competition.
Aberdeen
They are sixth in the Scottish Premiership but only 33rd in the Conference League. They have just two points from four matches and have conceded ten goals. They are also struggling in attack, scoring only three times in the Conference League. Their home ground, Pittodrie Stadium, has not brought success either — across 12 matches this season in all competitions they have just two wins.
Strasbourg Alsace
Strasbourg Alsace remain unbeaten in the Conference League: three wins and one draw, with a goal difference of 7:4. Their away form is impressive — two wins at Häcken (2:1) and Slovan Bratislava (2:1). Particularly notable is their most recent European game, when they beat Crystal Palace (2:1), ending Crystal Palace's five-match unbeaten run. In Ligue 1, they have lost three in a row but still occupy a respectable eighth place.
Aberdeen vs Strasbourg Alsace Prediction
Strasbourg Alsace look clear favourites thanks to their unbeaten run in Europe and the tactical discipline under Liam Rosenior. Despite Aberdeen's domestic revival and home support, the hosts continue to have defensive problems and lack cutting edge in continental matches. This should be a relatively comfortable outing for the French team.
