Drita - Floriana: Who will advance to the next round of the qualifying playoffs?
In the second leg of the UEFA Conference League qualifying round, Drita and Floriana will meet on Tuesday, July 28, with kick-off at 20:00 CET, and I have a bet in mind for this match.
Drita - Floriana: Match preview
The first leg between these teams was played in Malta, where Floriana hosted Kosovo side Drita. All the key events of the match came at the very end. Drita opened the scoring in the 90+4th minute, but five minutes later the hosts equalised to rescue a 1-1 draw.
Now the match will be played in Kosovo, and the hosts will look to win and advance in the UEFA Conference League qualifying campaign. Before this, they attempted to qualify for the Champions League but lost 3-4 on aggregate over two legs. Now they will try to progress further and continue their fight for a place in European competition.
Floriana also attempted to qualify for the UEFA Champions League. Moreover, they won the first leg 2-0 at home, but in the second leg the Maltese side suffered a heavy 1-5 defeat. As a result, they were eliminated. Now they will attempt to qualify for the UEFA Conference League, although doing so will be very difficult. Drita have the stronger squad and will also be playing at home.
