Important Match Summaries
Half Time: Kyiv 0-1 Crystal Palace
A fine start to the Conference League campaign for Palace, with Daniel Muñoz’s looping header giving the visitors a deserved lead in the Polish city.
Half Time: Celtic 0-1 SC Braga
Another difficult continental night for Brendan Rodgers thus far, as the visitors lead through Horta's long-range effort, which had Kasper Schmeichel flapping at thin air.
Match Background
Nottingham Forest’s most recent home match in European competition was a sobering affair: optimistic after returning from Bayern Munich with just a 2-1 loss, the home side shipped five goals to a dominant Bayern Munich team in 1996. This evening's rivals, FC Midtjylland, did not even exist back then – the Danish side were formed by a fusion in 1999 but have amassed extensive European experience in the last decade, and represent a challenging challenge for the Forest manager, yet seeking his maiden win as Forest head coach.
Villa have additionally made an underwhelming beginning to the campaign and confront a more established European name in Feyenoord Rotterdam – whose stadium in Rotterdam was the location of Aston Villa's greatest evening back in 1982. While fans enjoy a nostalgic journey to De Kuip, the Villa manager's chief concern will be sustaining form after securing back-to-back victories over Bologna FC and Fulham in the previous seven days.
Speaking of tough starts, Russell Martin may have finally won a game and improved his standing among Rangers supporters by approximately 0.0001%, but Sturm Graz – defeated by FC Midtjylland in their European opener – look able of returning the under-pressure manager to rock bottom. Another head coach facing scrutiny, Aberdeen’s Thelin, welcomes Shakhtar to Pittodrie.
These matches start at 20:00 (British Summer Time), with coverage from Palace's European trip to play Dynamo Kyiv in Poland and Celtic's homeground Europa League fixture against Braga, plus all the other exciting Euro action. Hold tight!
