Robbie Neilson believes the Pittodrie factor could be key in Aberdeen securing their first Conference League win tonight.
The Dons, currently on one point, host Armenians FC Noah on matchday four.
"I think it will be tough night because teams in the Armenian Premier League have a lot of investment," said former Hearts and Dundee United boss Neilson on the BBC's Scottish Football Podcast.

"That could be a real advantage for Aberdeen and I think they need the fans behind them. A good start could see them win the game, but it'll be tough."
