The New Saints v Flora Prediction: 5/2 Estonians to progress

A place in the third round of Conference League qualifying is at stake on Thursday, as the New Saints take on Flora at Park Hall in Oswestry.

Estonian outfit Flora hold a slender 1-0 advantage from the first leg and they will be hopeful of maintaining that advantage by the time the final whistle goes in Shropshire.

The winner of this Conference League tie will take on Inter Club d'Escaldes, who were awarded a bye into the third round.

The New Saints v Flora

The New Saints v Flora Prediction

Best Bet: Flora to win @ 5/2

Flora performed well in the first leg in Estonia and they were deserving of their 1-0 win in Tallinn, with Remo Valdmets scoring the only goal in the 31st minute.

A trip to Park Hall will present a different challenge but given the impressive away record of the Estonian outfit, it is a test they look capable of passing.

Flora are unbeaten in their last nine away matches, winning eight in a row before drawing 2-2 at Iberia 1999 in a UEFA Champions League qualifier, so this visit to Shropshire should pose no fears for them.

The New Saints are struggling and after losing both legs of their UEFA Champions League qualifier against Sabah Baku, they went down 1-0 to Flora in the first leg to extend their losing streak to three games.

Home results have also been concerning for TNS, who have lost two of their last three matches at Park Hall, and this looks like a perfect opportunity for Flora to pick up a win.

Alternative Bet: Over 3.5 Flora corners @ 1/1

Flora dominated the corner count in the first leg, earning seven compared to the three of TNS, and backing the visitors to have at least another four on Thursday looks like a value play.

The Estonians have had at least four corners in their last five outings, while they have also gone over the 3.5-mark in 11 of their 12 away fixtures in 2026.

With the New Saints looking to press forward in search of an equaliser in this tie, it could turn out to be an open game and the chance of the corners racking up for Flora looks to be high.

The New Saints v Flora Bet Builder Tip

  • Flora to win

  • Goals Range - 1-3

  • Most goals in second half

    Pays 15/2

A run of nine away games without defeat for Flora, in which they have won eight, suggests they can pick up the win at Park Hall and progress to the third qualifying round.

A goals range of 1-3 has been a winning bet in the New Saints' last seven games and in six of Flora's last eight matches.

Flora will try to keep things as tight as they can for as long as possible and this could make for a cagey first half, with neither side wanting to make a mistake.

The New Saints will have to eventually push forward in search of an equaliser, leaving themselves more exposed at the back, and backing more goals to come after the break looks like a solid option.
