Aberdeen manager Derek McInnes has made two changes to the team which won 5-0 a week ago for the second leg of the Europa League first qualifying round tie against Daugava Riga in Latvia.
Wary of the excesses of the Daugava challenges in the opening match, Ashton Taylor, makes his Aberdeen debut, and Andrew Considine comes in for the injured Peter Pawlett and Russell Anderson, with the captain dropping to the bench.
WIth suspicions of match-fixing, two players sent off in the first match and five goals conceded it has not been a good week for the Latvians.
Indifference from the home support is just as meek, with a smattering of just a couple of hundred supporters inside the ground, which is the national athletics stadium.
Drinks sold outside the ground, until the Uefa delegate stepped in with gusto, has combined to give the match a surreal feel with photographers banned from the surrounds of the pitch as the freight trains rattle and roll past the stadium.
