With only one goal separating the two sides after a closely-fought first leg, Flora Tallinn and Omonia Nicosia renew hostilities in the Europa League third qualifying round at the A. Le Coq Arena on Tuesday.
The Estonian hosts find themselves 1-0 down in the tie after Marinos Tzionis struck after 12 minutes in the first leg, and Royal Antwerp lie in wait for the victors of this battle.
We say: Flora 1-1 Omonia (Omonia win 2-1 on aggregate)
Expected alterations in the final third from Flora coupled with the potential loss of the experienced Hubocan could spell trouble for Omonia's defence, who have their work cut out for them to keep another clean sheet.
However, the visitors' first leg performance embodied that of a side who know what it takes to make the group stage, and we are backing Omonia to hold on and advance to the playoff round following a second-leg stalemate.

Aiming to secure a straightforward passage into the Europa League qualifying playoff round, Slovan Bratislava welcome Lincoln Red Imps to NFS - Tehelne Pole on Tuesday for the second leg of their third round tie.
The Slovakian champions boast a 3-1 advantage from the first leg in Gibraltar, during which Ezekiel Henty, Jaromir Zmrhal and Guram Kashia found the back of the net while Liam Walker claimed a consolation for Red Imps.
We say: Slovan Bratislava 2-0 Lincoln Red Imps (Bratislava win 5-1 on aggregate)
Slovan Bratislava's greater experience on the European stage quickly became evident in the sides' first-leg meeting, and we are struggling to see the Red Imps salvaging their continental journey here.
The Slovakian side will certainly face more of a fight in the playoff round against either Ludogorets or Olympiacos, but they should reach that stage with ease following a comfortable second-leg triumph.
