MATCH PREVIEW:
The Cyprus side come into this clash on the back of a 1-0 loss (aggregate 3-0) against Dinamo Zagreb in the UCL Qualification round.
With that loss, they were dumped out of contention for the Champions League and moved to the Europa League.
They have not been in good form for a while as their last win came way back in May, when they won the league title.
Since then, they have drawn 2 and lost 2 of their 4 matches played.
Nicosia will need to step up their level of performance if they are to be considered a strong contender in Europe and a win today could well kick start the revival.
On the other hand, Flora was knocked out of the UCL qualifiers by Legia Warszawa 3-1 on aggregate.
The 2020 Meistriliiga winners played out a goalless draw against Paide Linnameeskond on Saturday in the league.
There is not much to choose when it comes to form and since both sides have never met each other in a competitive match before, this could boil down to the wire.
Line-ups
Omonia Nicosia:
Fabiano, Hubocan, Psaltis, Lang, Lecjaks, Abdullahi, Gomez, Bautheac, Paopoulis, Duris and Scepovic
Flora:
Igonen, Lilander, Purg, Kuusk, Lukka, Miller, Soomets, Vassiljev, Ojamaa, Zenjov and Sappinen
Prediction: Omonia Nicosia 1-1 Flora
As mentioned earlier, there isn’t much to choose from between these two sides due to inconsistent form.
Hence, we expect a hard-fought draw with which sets up the 2nd leg for a thriller.
