It's game one of two in the Champions League as Raków Częstochowa host Flora. This is a 1st Qualifying Round fixture played over two legs and nothing will be decided tonight.
Flora have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 1200 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.
The visiting Flora played their last game only four days ago, a Meistriliiga match. That game was also an away game, at Paide. It will be interesting to see if they are fully ready and rested for this match, and/or if some changes in the lineup is necessary.

Flora's mission in Europa League last season failed in the 3rd qualifying round.Flora's travelling support has been rewarded for their time and money so far this season, having witnessed Flora collect 27 points from their 11 away matches in the Meistriliiga. 8 victories and 3 draws have created these points (and only 0 defeats).
Did you know that the longest clean sheet streak is 1816 minutes? This record is held by Mazaropi when he played in Vasco da Gama. Flora goalkeeper is eager to challenge this, with his 331 minutes of keeping balls out from the net.
Flora has to pack their bags again for the second away game in a row. Last time they traveled to Paide for a 0-0 draw.
That result followed a home victory 3-0 versus Tammeka in the Meistriliiga.With an average of more than two away goals per league game away, Flora are regular goalscorers on their travels. The Flora defense is a tough nut to crack, having conceded less than half a goal per away game on average ({5 goals} in 11 games).
