Following a close-fought first leg in Poland, Champions League hopefuls Flora and Rakow Czestochowa meet again at the A Le Coq Arena in Tallinn on Tuesday night, when they conclude their Champions League first qualifying round tie. The visitors currently hold a narrow advantage in the tie, having claimed a 1-0 victory in the first leg in Poland last week. Vladyslav Kochargin's second half strike proved to be the difference between the two sides. The Ukrainian midfielder's goal puts Rakow in the box seat ahead of this week's return, when a second-round tie against either Lincoln Red Imps or Qarabag will be the winner's prize; a place in Europa Conference League qualifying awaits the beaten side. The Polish champions followed up their continental exertions with a defeat in the Polish Super Cup against Legia Warsaw on Saturday. Both sides could not be separated in a goalless draw, with Legia eventually triumphing with a 6-5 victory in the shootout in the curtain-raiser of the new Polish season. I am expecting a win for Rakow Czestochowa from this encounter for the following reasons:

Firstly. Flora have been dominant in the Estonian football in recent years and that is clear as day, winning the Meistriliiga title in three of the previous four editions. They, however, will not have an easy task to defend the title, since they currently lead a fierce championship race with city rivals Levadia; both clubs from Tallinn share the leading position with same 47 points each to their names from 20 games played. Flora have been busy with an active competitive league campaign, while their opponents have been resting. Unlike the Estonian side, last year's Ekstraklasa champions are not yet busy with league duties, but they are preparing intensively for the upcoming campaign. They are fresher of the two sides without any injury worries.

Secondly. Last week's clash was the first continental meeting between the two sides. Rakow proved their mettle in the first leg and should have had a more comfortable lead in the tie. They showcased their superiority but were let down by their lack of clinical finishing in the final third. Flora head into this second leg with shaking confidence, after picking up just one triumph from their last four games across all competitions. They also have lacked sharpness in the attacking segment of their game as three of their last four competitive games have gone without a goal scored.

The Estonian side may be in better condition playing at home, but that does not change the fact that Rakow is an incomparably better team on paper, so I believe that with another victory Rakow will confirm progress to the next Champions League qualification round. I am expecting a win from the Polish side tonight.

在与波兰的首回合激战之后，冠军联赛的热门球队弗洛拉和切斯托霍瓦将于周二晚上在塔林的a Le Coq竞技场再次相遇，届时他们将结束欧冠预选赛的第一轮比赛。客队在上周与波兰的首回合比赛中以1-0获胜，目前在比赛中占据微弱优势。科查金下半场的进球证明了双方之间的差异。这名乌克兰中场的进球让拉科夫在本周回归前坐在了包厢里，届时第二轮对阵林肯红魔队或卡拉巴格队的比赛将是胜者的大奖。一个欧联杯预选赛的名额等待着被击败的球队。波兰冠军在周六的波兰超级杯上输给了华沙莱吉亚。双方在一场0比0的平局中无法分开，莱吉亚最终在点球大战中以6比5获胜，这是波兰新赛季的序幕。我希望切斯托霍瓦能在这场比赛中获胜，原因如下:

首先。弗洛拉近年来在爱沙尼亚足坛占据统治地位，这是显而易见的，在过去的四届联赛中，他赢得了三届冠军。然而，他们卫冕并不容易，因为他们目前与同城对手莱瓦迪亚(Levadia)在冠军争夺战中处于领先地位;两家来自塔林的俱乐部在20场比赛中都以47分并列第一。弗洛拉一直忙于一场激烈的联赛，而他们的对手则一直在休息。与爱沙尼亚队不同的是，去年的埃克斯特拉克拉萨冠军还没有忙于联赛的任务，但他们正在为即将到来的赛季做密集的准备。他们是两队中比较新鲜的，没有任何伤病的担忧。

其次。上周的冲突是双方在大陆上的首次会面。拉科夫在第一回合证明了他们的勇气，他们本应该在比赛中取得更轻松的领先。他们展示了自己的优势，但在最后三分之一的比赛中表现不佳，令他们失望。弗洛拉带着动摇的信心进入第二回合，在过去的四场比赛中他们只取得了一场胜利。在最近的四场正式比赛中，他们有三场没有进球，他们在进攻部分也缺乏锋芒。

爱沙尼亚在主场的状态可能会更好，但这并不能改变拉科夫在纸面上是一支无可比拟的球队的事实，所以我相信拉科夫的另一场胜利将确保下一轮欧冠资格赛的进展。我期待着今晚波兰队的胜利。
