Floriana take on the visitors FK Crvena Zvezda at “Hibernians Ground” in the second-leg match of the 1/8 stage of the Qualification to the UEFA Europa League 2017/2018. The game will be played in Paola on Thursday, July 6th. The first-leg match in Serbia ended with 3:0 scoreline in favour of the hosting side.
Last season Floriana settled on the fifth position in the standings of the Malta’s Premier League with 54 points earned and 51-37 goal difference, but what is more important, they won the FA Trophy and got a pass to the UEFA Europa League 2017/2018. Floriana were beaten without any chances by the Serbian grand in the away clash. Even after the tournament’s draw there was a little number of those who believed that the Maltese would be able to fight with the opponent on equal.

In previous season FK Crvena Zvezda took silver medals of the Serbian Super Liga as well as lost the Serbian Cup’s final to Partizan - their major and the only rival in the country. The team from Serbia is ranked as an average performer of the European football. As long as new promising players appear in side’s roster, FK Crvena Zvezda immediately sell it and that was the main reason of a team’s disability to claim for the substantial achievements in Europe during last 20 years. However, the Serbians demonstrated solid performance in the Eurocups’ Qualification, especially, in their head-to-heads against the Maltese.
FK Crvena Zvezda have solved the issue of their promotion to the next round by getting the lopsided victory in face of their fans. Still, I believe that the Serbians will show off in the away clash as most scouts of the big football clubs follow them exactly in the Eurocups’ battles. Besides, it is always a great pleasure to win, particularly, when the rival is notably weaker.
Prediction for the match: FK Crvena Zvezda to win with -1.0 Asian handicap.
