Champions League Qualifying Heats Up!
Get ready for some thrilling football action as FC Iberia 1999 clashes with Swedish powerhouse Malmo in the first qualifying round of the UEFA Champions League! This highly anticipated match, the first-ever meeting between these two clubs, kicks off on Tuesday at Mikheil Meskhi Stadium.
FC Iberia 1999 earned their spot in the qualifiers after a stellar performance, clinching the 2024 Erovnuli Liga title. Meanwhile, Malmo, the Scandinavian giants, also secured their place by dominating their domestic league.
Iberia's Impressive Home Record
Iberia seem to have found the winning formula at home. They are currently enjoying an outstanding title defence in their top-flight campaign and are unbeaten in their opening 18 matches of the 2025 season, with 13 wins and 5 draws. However, recent setbacks, including a loss in the Georgian Super Cup, might be cause for concern.
Despite these recent stumbles, Iberia's home record is formidable. The Tbilisi club has won eight of their last nine competitive matches at Mikheil Meskhi Stadium. Can they translate this domestic success into the Champions League?
Malmo's Challenge
Malmo will be looking to overcome Iberia's home advantage and secure a crucial away victory. This first leg is vital for both teams as they aim to progress further in the Champions League qualifying rounds. Expect a fierce battle as both sides vie for dominance.
