Ararat-Armenia secured a convincing 2-0 win in Yerevan. The Latvian club's performance was severely undermined by goalkeeper Franks Orols's dismissal in the 72nd minute, which then led to a second goal. Overcoming a two-goal deficit is a difficult task, which will force the Latvians to take risks.
FC Riga is traditionally strong at Skonto Stadium in European competitions. The team has won six of its last seven home matches in European competitions and is on a four-game winning streak.
The most likely outcome of the return leg between Latvia's Riga and Yerevan's Ararat-Armenia in the first qualifying round of the Champions League is a regular-time victory for Riga, but Ararat-Armenia will advance 2-1 on aggregate.

Vikingur is currently at the peak of its form. The team is confidently leading the national championship, winning 13 of 14 matches and conceding only nine goals. The Vikings even had their home games postponed, with their match in the next round postponed.
Győr won the championship, but even just being in European competition is an achievement, and Vikingur's narrow victory in the first match seems more likely to reflect the Normans' reluctance to push their form early on. Nevertheless, this performance will be enough for the Vikings to advance.

Good day everyone, Barney. We have a battle of the world's greats here: Inter Club vs. Lincoln Red Imps. Lincoln are the fathers of the qualifiers; they're involved in this game every year and things don't always work out for them. I can't say much about Inter, but at least their roster looks fresher and they can compete in their league.

Demchenko's appointment is working: Iberia beat Flora 3-2 in their first leg away from home, a deserved victory: the Red-Whites dominated and could have won more. Now, for only the second time in their history, they can advance to the second round of the Champions League qualifying round. Iberia has been strong at home: they have suffered only one defeat in 12 matches this season.

Flora has been struggling in top-tier matches: in the Estonian Super Cup, they lost to Nõmme Kalju (1-3), and in the league a month ago, they lost to their main rival and tournament leader, FKI Levadia (1-3). And now they have lost to Iberia at home as well. Starting defender Kollo will be suspended for the return leg, and their defense is already failing them: they have kept only one clean sheet in their last six matches, conceding a total of ten goals in this stretch. Let's assume Iberia wins.

The fiery Finnish boys predictably outplayed the once-warlike Macedonians on their home field. The Finns are currently playing official matches in the national championship, where they are leading with virtually no losses. Vardar played their last official match six weeks ago.
Kuopio rarely concedes at home. Therefore, the return match is a mere formality for the Finns to advance.
