Key Match Summaries

Intermission: Kyiv 0-1 Palace

A fine start to the Conference League campaign for Crystal Palace, with Muñoz's looping header giving the away side a well-earned advantage in Lublin.

Half Time: Celtic FC 0-1 SC Braga

Another difficult continental night for the Celtic manager so far, as the away team lead through Horta's distance effort, which had Kasper Schmeichel flapping at nothing.

Fixture Context

Nottingham Forest’s last homeground game in European competition was a disappointing occasion: hopeful after returning from Munich with just a 2-1 loss, the home side shipped five goals to a dominant Bayern Munich team in March 1996. Tonight’s opponents, Midtjylland, were not formed at that time – the Danish club were formed by a merger in 1999 but have amassed considerable European expertise in the past ten years, and represent a tough test for the Forest manager, yet seeking his first win as Forest head coach.

Aston Villa have additionally made an disappointing beginning to the campaign and face a more established European name in Feyenoord – whose home ground in Rotterdam was the location of Villa’s most memorable evening back in 1982. While fans savor a sentimental journey to De Kuip, the Villa manager's primary worry will be maintaining form after securing successive wins over Bologna and Fulham in the last week.

Speaking of tough beginnings, Russell Martin may have finally secured a match and improved his standing among Rangers FC fans by approximately 0.0001%, but Sturm Graz – beaten by FC Midtjylland in their Europa League opener – look able of returning the beleaguered coach to the lowest point. Another manager under pressure, Aberdeen’s Thelin, hosts Shakhtar Donetsk to their home ground.

All those matches start at 20:00 (British Summer Time), with coverage from Crystal Palace’s Conference League away game to play Kyiv in the Polish venue and Celtic’s home Europa League game against SC Braga, along with various exciting European matches. Stay tuned!
