New season begins today

In both European cup competitions new 2016/17 season begins today with first preliminary rounds, first leg games.

For the Champions league all four qualifying pairs are playing today.
- Flora Tallinn - Lincoln Red Imps. Both these teams in 2016 are in good form. We would not be surprised if this ends up in victory for the visiting team from Gibraltar or even a draw, but Flora will record the first win at the start of the competition.
- Valletta - B36 Torshavn. In its first meeting home side has an absolute advantage over Faroe Islands visitors who are playing awfully this season. However, a minimal result is expected.
- FC Santa Coloma - Alashkert. Armenian Alashkert's last two away games looks to improve their form with many goals scored. The team from Andorra will try not to leave the home stadium undefeated but, unfortunately for them, the loss will be inevitable.
- TNS - Tre Penne. Out of the four pairs in the first qualifying round The New Saints have the most easiest opponent. But lately, in their own championship, San Marino team is registering only wins. As they are not a football force in Europe, Wales' TNS should record victory.

We chose three games for you from the first qualifying round in the Europa league that are also in today's schedule.
- Kapaz - Dacia Chisinau, Azerbaijan's football are achieving high results at the moment but Kapaz seems to be struggling with its form. Dacia as well have hard times. Visitors from Moldavia can easily take it, but a draw would be fair for all. 
- Partizani - Slovan Bratislava. Slovakian side are having a tricky trip to Albania. Partizani is not a team to fear from, so Slovan should take this one (easily).
- St. Patrick's Athletic - Jeunesse Esch. Like TNS in the Champions, the Irish team is in the pair with one of the easiest opponent in the Europa league. Luxembourg team has to be very careful of not receiving many goals at the start of their campaign.
