On Thursday afternoon in Nicosia, Omonia will face Flora in the first leg of the UEFA Europa League third qualifying round.
Omonia is aiming for a second consecutive berth in the UEFA Europa League group stage.
They got there after losing to Olympiacos in the UEFA Champions League playoffs the previous season.
The Cypriot heavyweights demonstrated their strength by defeating Legia Warsaw and Red Star Belgrade, allowing only one goal against such heavyweights.
They didn't fare well with the draw at the start of this season's brief foray into top competition qualification.
Dinamo Zagreb defeated the team managed by Norwegian manager Henning Berg 0-3 on aggregate.
On the plus side, they will be overwhelming favorites against Flora Tallinn, who finished their Champions League campaign with two defeats to Legia Warsaw.
Flora has had a difficult time scoring goals against stronger opponents in European games.
On Thursday, the two teams will meet for the first time in their history.
Since 2015, Flora has won their domestic league four times. They will, however, have a difficult time defending their most recent title this season, as they are six points behind FCI Levadia at the top of the rankings after 18 rounds.
