Levadia take on the visitors Hibernians in the second leg of UEFA Conference League qualification quarterfinals. First leg result: 2-3. The match will be played on Thursday, July 28th at A. Le Coq Arena (Tallinn).
Levadia became the champion of Estonia last season - for the 10th time in history. And it happened after a 7-year pause. The club also took the cup, making the season quite triumphant. But the current draw in the domestic arena is not so good. Now the leader in the domestic arena is "Flora". Yes, and in the international arena things aren’t great either. The Champions League ended at the preliminary stage of qualification with a humiliating 1-6 with Vikingur. Even though UEFA held that mini tournament in Reykjavik, it still came as a painful blow. "Moving" to a weaker Conference League so far does not help the Balts much. Wards of Ivan Stojkovic lost here too. The result achieved in the first leg still leaves the club with good chances to achieve a successful final result.

Hibernians celebrated their centennial anniversary with success. They became the champion of the country for the 13th time. In addition, the "peacocks" managed to win the cup 10 times. In general, they may well consider themselves one of the flagships of Maltese football, although there is no question of any complete dominance. Moreover, there are no clear successes in the international arena. But in 2017, it was possible to knock out at least FKI Tallinn, and in 2020, to deal with Vaduz. The current attempt to start in the Champions League turned out to be zilch: Shamrock Rovers defeated the opponent 3-0 at home. After that, the Irish pragmatically kept a draw in Malta. But the Estonians, it seemed, could be beaten in the first game. Hibernians were already 2-0 up by the 23rd minute. But the most interesting thing on July 19 was the ending. At first, Levadia closed the gap, but Muritala restored the handicap to 2 goals. And yet the Balts have the last word. Adjiri scored 2-3 in the 94th minute. And now there will definitely be intrigue in Tallinn - both sides have their own arguments in favor of the final victory!
The duel on July 19 was the first meeting between these clubs. Bookmakers are waiting for a comeback performed by Estonians. They are on the move, and on their own field they must defeat such an opponent as a representative of exotic Malta.
Prediction for the match: Flora to win.
