Petrocub take on the visitors Floriana in the second leg of round of 16 in UEFA Conference League qualification. First leg result: 0-0. The match will be played on Thursday, July 14th at Stadionul Zimbru (Chişinău).
Petrocub have become one of the leaders of Moldovan football in recent years. The White-Blacks were founded in 1994. But only gradually, by the middle of the last decade, they managed to break into the elite division of the country. It has reached a new level in recent years. First, three times in a row, in 2017-2019, they managed to win bronze, also in combination with winning a full-fledged trophy, the Cup of Moldova. And in the last two draws, Petrocub even became the vice-champion of the country. Perhaps this is the maximum, taking into account the fact that there is such an unattainable grandee as Sheriff. It should be noted that in European competitions last year, on the 3rd attempt, it was possible to overcome the first opponent, Sileks. And now, after 0-0 away, the chances are not bad.

Floriana have reminded of themselves in recent years. The Greens have won the league title 25 times. In another 21 cases, it was possible to win the Malta Cup. It is worth noting that since the mid-90s there has been a noticeable decline, when for a long time, until 2020, it was not possible to take "gold". After that, there were again weaker results, against which the 2nd place at the end of the 2021/2022 season was a real success. It also allowed tham to return to European competition. The last time the representative of Malta was able to try his hand in 2020. And it turned out worthy: yes, in the Champions League it was 0-2 from the strong CFR (Cluj), but then the Maltese managed to knock out Linfield (1-0), and then there was a goalless draw with Flora. It was then a loss on penalties to the Estonians. It is curious that with Petrocub at home they recorded again 0-0.
Floriana, before this duel, not only did not meet with Petrocub (he was just starting to write his international history), but also did not play in Moldova at all. Although, in general, the Maltese started quite often in European competitions. The Moldovans did not lose on the road, and now they just need to bring the matter to its logical conclusion. We bet on Petrocub.
Prediction for the match: Petrocub to win.
