⭐ Editor's Prediction
The bookmakers have Drita as clear favourites for the first leg, even away from home. That said, Floriana shouldn't be underestimated: they're noticeably stronger on their own patch and have avoided defeat at home in 9 of their last 10 matches. In the first round of the Champions League, the Maltese side also managed to beat a stronger Shamrock Rovers on home soil. So the main bet here is Floriana not to lose. Predicted score: 1-1.
