The UEFA Europa League is back in action with a set of qualifiers this week as Omonia Nicosia take on FC Flora on Thursday. The two teams will be intent on European qualification this year and will need to step up in this game.
FC Flora did not win the league last season and will want to take it up a notch this year. The Estonian side can pack a punch on its day and will need to put its best foot forward this week.
Omonia Nicosia, on the other hand, are a dominant force in their league and will want to replicate their form in Europe. The Cypriot outfit was brushed aside by Dinamo Zagreb last week and will want to bounce back in this fixture.
Omonia Nicosia vs FC Flora Head-to-Head
Omonia Nicosia have never played an official fixture against FC Flora and will be intent on making their mark in this fixture. The Cypriot giants are in impressive form at the moment and will want to step up in this match.
