Analysis
Both teams have demonstrated attacking intent, as reflected in the 2-2 draw in their recent encounter. Saburtalo's midfielders, notably N. Sikharulashvili and G. Kutsia, have been instrumental in creating and converting chances, while Flora Tallinn rely heavily on R. Sappinen, their main goal threat, who has been consistent in front of goal. Level after 90 minutes and Fipster expects extra time to settle nothing either — this one has penalty shootout written all over it, with Saburtalo tipped to hold their nerve from the spot. The graded markets reflect the score at the end of extra time, and any penalty-shootout call is a who-goes-through tip, not a scored prediction.
