Omonia hosts Flora in the first leg of the Europa League qualification semifinals. The match will be played on Thursday, August 5th at Neo GSP Stadium (Nicosia)
Omonia's last five matches consist of two friendlies, the Cyprus Super Cup final, and two Champions League qualifying games. As for friendly matches, the Cypriots tied against Plock (1: 1) and beat Gurnik (4-3). After that, the team forgot about victories at least in regulation time. Omonia's next match was the Cyprus Super Cup final against Anorthosis. The team won the trophy only in a penalty shootout (1-1 and 5-4 on penalties). The next two matches of the Champions League qualification against Dynamo Zagreb did not bring success to the Cypriot club. Omonia's players suffered two defeats and failed to score a single goal (0-1 and 0-2). The Croatians scored all three goals after the break.

Flora won only two of their last five matches. They hammered Hibernians in the Champions League qualification (4-0) and dealt with Parnu Vaprus in the Estonian Championship (4-0). This is where the team's successes ended. After that, Flora lost twice to Legia in the Champions League (1-2 and 0-1) and tied against Paide (0-0). In three of the last five matches, Flora's players have failed to score more than one goal. The team cannot score in two games in a row. Bookmakers give a coefficient of 1.85 that the visitors will score under 0.5 goals in the upcoming game. I would like to note that Estonians have not conceded in four out of five last away matches. However, three of them were played in the Estonian championship.
Both teams are experiencing a game crisis. Omonia has not been able to win in four of the last five matches. And it scored more than one goal in only one case. Flora cannot win already three matches in a row. During this period, the team was able to score only one goal as well. In such a situation, it is difficult to give preference to one of the sides. But it is likely that the teams will not please us with productive football.
Prediction for the match: Under 2.5 goals scored
