Flora vs Anorthosis prediction, preview, team news and more | UEFA Europa Conference League 2021-22

Two winless sides in Group B of the UEFA Europa Conference League square off at A. Le Coq Arena in Tallinn on Thursday as Flora host Anorthosis Famagusta on matchday four.

Both sides have an identical record in the competition so far, having drawn once and lost twice in three games.

However, Anorthosis have an inferior goal-difference to their Estonian counterparts and hence languish at the bottom of the group.

That one point for these sides came from their 2-2 draw in the reverse fixture in Cyprus last month.

The hosts raced to a 2-0 lead inside the 28 minutes of the kick-off, before Flora netted twice to come back into the match and force a share of the spoils.

In-form Estonian striker Rauno Sappinen scored a brace for them.

They were also the only pair of strikes these sides have managed in the competition, having drawn a blank in their previous clashes which ended in a defeat.
