Flora
The "Green-Whites" won the Estonian championship for the second consecutive season, earning the right to play in the UEFA Champions League. However, Flora's journey in the main European competition was short-lived, as they were eliminated in the first qualifying round by Slovenian club Celje, losing both legs.
Flora also faced difficulties in the UEFA Conference League when, after a goalless away draw with Virtus, they drew 2-2 at home. The Estonian side eventually secured progression after extra time, scoring three goals against the San Marino club. Notably, Flora played with ten men from the 48th minute. In the domestic league, Flora is currently in third place, trailing Levadia by 19 points.
Vikingur Reykjavik
The "Vikings" finished first in the Icelandic Premier League last season, which allowed them to qualify for the UEFA Champions League. This season, they are once again confidently leading the Icelandic league, six points ahead of their closest rival, HB Tórshavn. Over the weekend, Víkingur hosted Vestri and drew 1-1.
Víkingur's Champions League campaign was also short-lived, as they were eliminated by Shamrock Rovers, drawing 0-0 at home and losing 1-2 away. In the UEFA Conference League qualifiers, Víkingur started against Albanian side Egnatia. After losing 0-1 at home, the "Vikings" took revenge with a 2-0 away win to advance to the next round.
Interesting Facts and Head-to-Head History
