Europa League victory against coronavirus-stricken Sporting.There would have been a fair degree of trepidation among Dons fans when the draw for the third qualifying round was made, with a trip to Lisbon arguably the hardest tie their side could have got.However, there is hope for Derek McInnes ' men at the Jose Alvalade Stadium.Sporting have eight players and their manager missing after a series of COVID positives which saw their Premeira Liga opener postponed.It's a one-off tie in Portugal, so if Aberdeen can pull off a shock result against a weakened side they will advance to the play-off round to face either LASK or Dunajska Streda.That's still easier said than done though, and the Dons will have to do without both captain Scott

Scott McKenna but is confident they will cash in when he gets to the Premier League.The Scotland international completed his initial £3million move to Nottingham Forest on Wednesday and there are also a number of add ons that could see the deal hit £5m and a future, chunky 20-plus per cent sell-on clause.McInnes is in no doubt that McKenna will go on and play in England’s top-flight and whether that is with Forest or he is sold on he knows Aberdeen will net a future windfall further down the line.Aberdeen turned down a potential £7m bid from Aston Villa two seasons ago but the financial landscape in England has now changed, while the COVID crisis in Scotland has put financial pressure on clubs and this sale will now allow them to balance

Aberdeen.The Portuguese international knows the Dons have the advantage of games but he believes they can force Derek McInnes’ side to make mistakes and then punish them in tonight’s Europa League clash.Around 10 Sporting players and staff, including head coach Ruben Amorim, will miss the game because of the recent coronavirus outbreak that has destroyed their preparations and left them still to kick a competitive ball this season.Neto said: "Aberdeen are an opponent who already has eight official games."In quality we are the best team, but we have to match the commitment, the focus, the work and, in moments, the intensity.
