Haverfordwest vs Floriana Prediction
Haverfordwest have to win this game to advance to the next round of the Conference League Qualifiers. This is the third successive Conference League qualification tie wherein they have played the first leg away from home. They won't be too fazed by losing the first leg of this tie, having lost both first legs away from home in the previous two occasions before winning the home leg.
Floriana, for their part, have a narrow lead in the tie and will be looking to complete the job here. They are far from being heavyweights on the continental level but are more established than their hosts.
The game is still relatively open for both sides and they will each fancy their chances of claiming the victory. A one-goal deficit is not too much for Haverfordwest to overturn. Although one side could nick a win, back the two sides to cancel each other out in a low-scoring stalemate.
