Flora take on the visitors Farul Constanta in the second leg of UEFA Conference League qualification. The match will be played on Wednesday, August 16th at Central Stadium Hagi Academy (Ovidiu).
Flora are one of the leaders, but from a small country. The Green and Whites are considered the flagship of Estonian football. Confirmation of this came last year when they secured their 14th championship title. While they don't exhibit dominance like Sheriff, there's currently a tight competition with Levadia, and it's too early to say who will claim the 1st place this time. Simultaneously, they have resumed their performances on the European stage. Notably, they recently managed to reach the group stage in 2021 within the framework of the Conference League. The chances of repeating this feat are close to zero now. They faced initial difficulties in the Champions League qualification, failing against Rakow. In the first leg in Czestochowa, they suffered a 1-0 defeat, and at home, they allowed the Polish team to score 3 unanswered goals. Moreover, after moving to the Conference League, the Baltics replicated a 0-3 scoreline, this time against Romanians.

Farul is essentially making its debut in European competitions. The Sharks have been in existence for over a century. However, they struggled to achieve success for a long time, with just one cup final appearance that they lost. Nevertheless, they often managed to represent Constanta in the top division... until recurring financial problems led to relegation and even bankruptcy. Afterward, the team gradually worked its way up. A new chapter began when they merged with Viitorul. Within two years of the merger, they clinched the championship title in Romania. This achievement not only allowed them to return to European competitions but also marked their debut in the Champions League qualification. They even won their opening match against the experienced Sheriff. However, in Tiraspol, the Wasps responded to the 0-1 defeat in Ovidiu with an identical victory, adding two more goals in extra time. Following this, the Romanians moved to the Conference League, where they have performed well. They've managed to score three times in all matches. While both matches against Urartu ended in 3-2 victories, they secured a comprehensive win against the Estonians.
Farul is essentially making its debut in European competitions. Therefore, it was natural for them to face Flora for the first time last week. Experts don't believe that the second leg in Ovidiu will be significantly more successful for the nominal hosts. Let's bet that the Romanians might not win by a wide margin, but they will likely secure another victory.
Prediction for the match: Farul Constanta to win.
