Match Preview

A place in the Europa League play-off round is up for grabs when Iberia 1999 host Larne for the decisive second leg, with the winner set to face either Rangers or Jagiellonia Bialystok. The first leg at Inver Park finished goalless, leaving everything to play for in Tbilisi. Larne arrive as three-time Northern Irish champions but were battered 9-1 on aggregate by Crvena Zvezda in Champions League qualifying, while Iberia 1999 are back-to-back Georgian title holders still fighting Rustavi and Dinamo Tbilisi for top spot, and are unbeaten in three straight away matches. Watch for Vahid Selimovic, whose header was controversially ruled out for offside in the first leg, and keeper Giorgi Makaridze, who kept Iberia level with key saves. For Larne, Ronan Doherty and Matthew Lusty caused problems going forward, and manager Gary Haveron says his side will "embrace the challenge" of chasing the tie away from home. Our prediction: 1-1
