Team News

Iberia 1999 suffered no reported injuries from the first leg and are likely to name the same side who started the 3-2 victory at the Lillekula Stadium in Tallinn.

There will be at least one change to Flora's starting XI, following the red card to centre-back Airon Kollo. He is expected to be replaced by Robert Veering.

Iberia 1999 vs Flora Odds

Iberia 1999 are the 8/13 favourites to pick up the win in normal time, with the draw priced at 3/1 and Flora 16/5 to claim the spoils.

The hosts are 1/9 to win the tie, while Flora are available at 5/1.

Flora to win @ 10/3

Iberia 1999 may have picked up a 3-2 win in the first leg but they will have felt disappointed to have not built up a bigger advantage, having played the last 30 minutes against 10 men.

The visitors were leading 2-1 at the time of the dismissal and were pegged back to 2-2, and while they managed to get back ahead, the fact they gave up chances despite having an extra man is a concern.

Iberia have not been rock-solid at home of late and they lost their last clash at the Mikheil Meskhi Stadium at the beginning of this month, going down in a penalty shoot-out to Torpedo Kutaisi in the Georgian Super Cup final.

The Red Eagles did win their last two home matches prior to the cup defeat, although they were both by one-goal margins and one of those contests was against Meshakhte Tkibuli, who prop up the Erovnuli Liga standings.

Flora have been excellent on their travels and they head into this clash eyeing a ninth straight away victory, scoring 22 goals during this winning run.

The Green-Whites will be buoyed by the fact they are still in this tie and they created plenty of problems for Iberia in the first leg, even after they were reduced to 10 men.

With the hosts not quite hitting the mark at home and Flora faring better on the road, this looks like a prime opportunity for the Estonian outfit to clinch the win.

Flora to win 2-1 @ 12/1

A bigger price to look at is Flora to win 2-1, which has landed in two of their last three away matches.

Iberia also lost 2-1 at home to Rustavi in the Georgian league last month and there looks to be plenty of value in siding with the visitors to inflict this same scoreline on the hosts.
