Iberia 1999
The second leg of the UEFA Europa League third qualifying round between Iberia 1999 and Northern Ireland's Larne will take place in Tbilisi on 11 August 2026 at 17:00 BST.
The first game in Larne finished goalless (0:0), so the tie remains completely alive — the upcoming meeting will decide who takes the place in the next round.
Iberia 1999 come into the game unbeaten in their last three matches across different competitions, while they have lost only once in their previous seven outings. There is another side to it, though: because of the packed schedule, the team had to postpone domestic league matches, which helped address the issue of a short bench.
Larne, meanwhile, come into the game after a painful experience in UEFA Champions League qualifying, where they were heavily beaten twice by Serbia's Crvena Zvezda (0:4 and 0:5) — the Northern Irish side's defence looked genuinely vulnerable in those games, giving the hosts grounds for optimism.
Given their home advantage, Iberia 1999's more assured run of results and Larne's clear defensive problems exposed in recent European matches, it is logical to expect the Tbilisi club to come out on top.
