Flora Tallinn team overview
Flora Tallinn enters this one on the back of a frustrating 3–2 home defeat in the first leg. The Green-Whites struggled defensively, allowing their Georgian opponents to score three times despite a resilient two-goal fightback on their own patch.
Konstantin Vassiljev’s men have experienced a highly volatile run of form recently, following up impressive domestic league victories against FCI Levadia and FC Kuressaare with that disappointing continental setback.
On the road, however, they are on a spectacular run, winning each of their last seven away matches across all competitions while scoring seventeen goals.
Midfielder Vladislav Kreida has been their main man, contributing heavily with vital goals, including a fine first-half strike in the reverse fixture. The squad faces a major hurdle with defender Airon Kollo completely ruled out due to his costly first-leg red card.

Prediction
Iberia 1999 is well-positioned to complete the job on home soil. Because the visitors must attack to overturn their aggregate deficit, the Green-Whites will inevitably leave spaces open at the back. Andrey Demchenko’s men have the clinical edge to exploit those defensive gaps. Expect the hosts to absorb the pressure and strike twice, securing a narrow victory to extend their winning form at the Mikheil Meskhi Stadium.
Four reasons we expect over 2.5 goals in this game
- Flora Tallinn scored 2+ goals in each in all but one of their last nine matches.
- Iberia 1999 two or more goals in three of their last four matches.
- Four of the last five matches of Iberia 1999 produced three or more goals.
- Bets on over 2.5 goals won in each of the last nine games of Flora Tallinn.
