- The New Saints FC are winless in 3, having lost 2-1 to Sabah FK at home in UEFA Champions League Qualification 2026 and 1-0 to Flora in the previous leg of this fixture.
- Flora Tallinn have not lost an away match in any competition since November, winning 4 and drawing 1 in 5. They conceded just 4 goals in that run.
- Tony Varjund is Flora's top scorer for the last 5-game period with 3 goals. However, Remo Valdmets could be a game winner here with 1 goal in 1 game in UEFA Conference League Qualification 2026.
Flora's finesse can see them through
The New Saints FC face a tough matchup against Flora Tallinn in Park Hall Stadium on Thursday as they try to close the 1-0 gap that the Estonian side opened in the first leg of their UEFA Conference League Qualification 2026 tie.
Craig Harrison has done a great job building up this club since taking over in August 2022 and he has the squad playing a direct, high-energy style that focuses on winning the ball back quickly and attacking through the wide areas. That is a recipe for success in Wales, but it's not a recipe for a win against a side like Flora.
The Estonians are a possession-based team, with a playmaker like Konstantin Vassiljev pulling the strings and a midfield pivot and full-backs that can stretch the field across the width of the pitch. Their play is more patient, but when they get it right, they create plenty of goals.
Tony Varjund is their primary goal threat with 3 goals in the last 5-game run, during which time Flora have scored 9 times. Remo Valdmets has contributed a goal but he can be the spark that makes the difference if he's on form.
The New Saints FC vs Flora Tallinn preview suggests a tense battle, with both teams bringing contrasting styles to the tie.
