    18/07/23 2579

    The second leg of the Champions League first qualifying round between Flora Tallinn and Raków Częstochowa takes place this Tuesday evening with the away side leading the tie 1-0 after a meeting last week in Estonia.

    The Estonian side were beaten by a second half goal in what was a fairly even game throughout the first leg.

    In the end, Vladyslav Kocherhin was the difference after he scored a goal in the second half.

    Flora are still, however, sitting second in the Meistriliiga after 20 games, as they sit adrift of top spot on the head-to-head record.

    The club have so far won 14 games, drawn five and lost one while letting in the same amount of goals as Levadia in first as well.

    Last time out, Flora drew 0-0 with Paide after defeating Tammeka 3-0 thanks to a brace from Sten Reinkort and a finish from Henrik Ojamaa in the second half too.

    Prior to this, they also drew 0-0 with Levadia in a game that saw Marten Kuusk sent off for Flora.

    Their best result in recent times saw them beat Vaprus 5-1 after a goal from Martin Miller in the first half, as Ojamaa, Konstantin Vassijev, Reinkort and Danil Kuraksin all scored a goal in the second 45.

    In fact, Flora's last win came all the way back at the start of June after a defeat to Trans in the Estonian Cup final.

    As for Rakow, they are heading into this one having lost the Polish SuperCup final over the weekend to Legia Warszawa after a penalty shootout loss following on from a 0-0 draw.

    Prior to this, they managed to beat U Cluj in a club friendly after losing to Slavia Praha in another exhibition match.

    Another friendly in the past three weeks has seen them defeat Puszcza Niepolomice 4-0.

    Towards the end of the season, Rakow also lost the Polish Cup final to Legia Warszawa, as they were once again beaten on penalties by them after a 0-0 draw in a cup final.

    Rakow did, however, win the Ekstraklasa by a comfortable margin in the end, as they finished nine points above second place after winning 23 of the 34 games.

    The club also scored 63 goals throughout the year, conceding 24 times and losing only five games.

    Forebet predicts a draw here and for the game to see under 2.5 goals, meaning it will be Rakow that progresses out of this round.
