The visitors head into the second league with a 2-1 advantage of their second qualifying round contest.
Rafael Lopes proved the Man of the Match after coming with a last-minute dramatic winner for the Polish side in their first meeting last week.
First, Flora advanced to the second qualifying round of the Champions League following a five-goal aggregate. It took a win over Maltese side Hibernians. However, they have to secure the third qualifying round, especially after suffering a 2-1 loss to Legia in the first leg last week.
In hindsight, Flora has many expectations after having reached the playoff round of last season’s Europa League. However, a 3-1 loss to Dinamo Zagreb. However, there is much-needed win this Tuesday night to the third qualifying round.
On the other hand, their opponents started with their top-flight Polish season on Saturday, thus recording a 1-0 win over Wisla Plock. The current Polish champions progressed to the second qualifying round of this competition.
In addition, Legia is the favorites to advance to the third round on Tuesday night. However, they fell off this stage in the 2020-2021 campaign before losing to Qarabag.
