Farul Constanza take on the visitors Flora in the first leg of UEFA Conference League qualification semifinals. The match will be played on Thursday, August 10th at Central Stadium Hagi Academy (Ovidiu).
An unexpected champion emerged in Romania last season. Farul tested their strength in the Champions League qualifiers but experienced Sherif proved to be stronger. And now, Farul are advancing through the qualification rounds of the Conference League. They confidently passed Armenian Urartu with a 4-2 aggregate score in two matches. Now, a battle with Flora is on the horizon. Flora tries their luck in qualifications almost every year, but they never succeed. Farul may not be an experienced European competition contender, but they were fortunate to face Flora in this qualifying round. Flora often stumbles against much less formidable opponents than Farul. There's a significant chance that the Romanians will manage to secure an advantage of at least one goal before traveling to Estonia.

For Flora, this will be their first qualifying round in the Conference League. They were eliminated without much chance in the Champions League qualifiers by Polish Rakow, with a 0-4 aggregate score in two matches. However, things are not going well for the Estonian team in the domestic championship. They are not currently in the top position and have been losing points actively lately. At this rate, Flora might even lose their grip on the top spot in Estonian football, and talking about their chances in European cup matches is becoming unrealistic. So, for the Romanians, things might work out fairly easily and straightforwardly here. As for Flora, they will now be torn between championship matches and qualification matches, and in the end, they might not achieve success in either.
I agree here with the bookmakers who give a significant advantage to the Romanian team in terms of odds. If the match were on Estonian turf, it might slightly alter the dynamics of this encounter. However, on their home field, the Romanians will surely manage to establish some advantage and head into the second leg with a certain edge. My bet: Home Win.
Prediction for the match: Farul Constanta to win.
