La Fiorita take on the visitors Inter Escaldes in semifinal of preliminary stage of UEFA Champions League. The match will be played on Tuesday, June 21st at Víkingsvöllur (Reykjavík)
La Fiorita represent. San Marino. It’s incredible, but that small country has both the national championship and the cup. And the "yellow-blue" took each of the trophies 6 times. In 2021, it was possible to reach the final of the local championship, and last season, gold was taken, for the first time since 2018. The team plays regularly In European competition. But their achievements, frankly speaking, are weak. However, they are quite adequate, given the fact that this is a representative of San Marino. In every qualification since 2012, La Fiorita has so far failed to beat anyone. Moreover, all the achievements in 11 starts are 2 draws, with Linfield a couple of years ago and with Birkirkara in last year's Conference League qualification. Also, with the Maltese it was possible to score a goal, only the 3rd for all this time.

Inter Escaldes was founded just over 30 years ago, in 1991. But just recently they began to dominate in the championship of Andorra. Having become champions for the first time in 2020, the Black-and-Blues have already managed to defend their status twice. Then it turned out for the first time to debut in European competition. At first there were complete failures: the defeat of Drita in the Champions League and Dundalk in the Europa League. But last summer, they managed to beat Torshavn minimally. Then, however, there was a defeat for Pristina. And an bitter defeat from Teuta in the Conference League. On the road, in Albania, the best club in Andorra took a seemingly confident victory with a score of 2-0. But then they lost at home with the same score. Everything was decided in overtime, and there the only goal was scored not by Escaldes. So far, these matches make up the entire history of the Black and Blue European Cups.
These clubs not so long ago began to play on the international arena. And, as a rule, they do not linger there. So this meeting will be the first in their history of head-to-heads. Bookmakers consider Inter Escaldes as a clear favorite for this pair. But both clubs are weak and want, above all, to win. So we are waiting in the end for “under 2.5 goals scored”.
Prediction for the match: Under 2.5 scored goals.
