Flora host the first leg in this deciding Champions League 1st Qualifying Round game. Hibernians will try their very best to bring a solid result back to Hibernians Stadium before the return leg in 12 days.
We should expect both teams to be fresh and ready for this match, as there is some time since both teams last played. Let's have a look at how the teams are doing!
These teams have little in common geographically as Hibernians have to travel 3700 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.
Flora form and stats
Flora participated in Champions League the last season, where they reached the 1st qualifying round.The home supporters can't complain about results here at A. Le Coq Arena as Flora have scored 16 goals to get 17 points from 7 games. The overall stats in the Meistriliiga are 5-2-0 (wins-draws-losses). Flora has a nice streak going on as they have played 32 consecutive leaguegames without losing (regardless of home/away). They are keen to extend their tally, a streak that began after the Tulevik defeat 363 days ago.
Flora drew their last game, also a home match. Paide was the opponent, 3-3 the score. A disappointing finish for Flora in their match versus Paide as their 3-0 lead was destroyed and replaced with a 3-3 full time score. As you can tell by the result above, the goals flowed freely in the previous game and the stadium rocked. Could there be another goal fest today?
