Aberdeen and HJK get a break from their league challenge to fight for a possible trophy in this Europa Conference League Group Stage fixture.
Aberdeen's stadium, Pittodrie Stadium, has a grass surface. HJK have artifical turf on their own stadium. This might or might not make a difference, and to help evaluate that we give you the recent performance numbers for HJK when playing on grass; 10 wins, 8 draws and 10 losses from 28 matches. They have scored {35 goals} in these games and conceded 46.
It's quite the trip for HJK when visiting Aberdeen as the cities are 3500 kilometers apart.
Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.
