Iberia 1999 barely eliminated underdog Flora 5-4 on aggregate in the previous tie and lack European experience. I am backing Slovan Bratislava to win in Yaya Toure’s debut in his managerial career.

No Previous Meetings

This is going to be the first head to head clash between Iberia 1999 and Slovan Bratislava.

Georgian Champions Failed to Impress in the Previous Round

Iberia 1999 have successfully defended the title in the Georgian top flight last season, finishing just two points ahead of Rustavi.

The new campaign started with a 1-0 win over Dinamo Tbilisi in the Georgian Super Cup semifinals, but lost the grand finals to Torpedo Kutaisi on penalties (2-2 in regular time).

Iberia 1999 faced Flora in the Champions League first qualifying round and gained advantage in the first tie 3-2 in Estonia. A 2-2 draw at home last week was enough to advance, Nika Sikharulashvili netting a brace.

Yaya Toure Set for his Debut

Slovan Bratislava were the most dominant side in Slovakia last season and easily defended the title there, finishing ten points ahead of Dunajska Streda.

They parted ways with coach Vladimir Weiss earlier this summer and appointed Yaya Toure who is about to have his first job ever as the head manager.

Their results during the pre-season were quite mixed, beating Pafos 3-2 and Slavia Prague 1-0, losing to Puskas Academy 1-0, while clash against the Serbian champions Red Star Belgrade ended 1-1.

Team News

Hosts have no reported injuries or suspensions ahead of this clash. Amiran Dzagania has been their top contributor this season with five goals.

Winger Nino Marcelli is ruled out for the visitors, recovering from a muscle injury. Slovenian veteran striker Andraz Sporar is expected to lead the attack.

Verdict

FC Iberia 1999 v Slovan Bratislava

Iberia 1999 were crushed by Malmo in last year’s UCL qualifiers and showed a lot of defensive weaknesses in the first round earlier this month. I am backing more experienced Slovan Bratislava to win here.
