Prediction
While the build-up to this clash has been disrupted for Iberia 1999, they should still have enough quality to take an advantage back to Tbilisi for the second leg.
Although falling at the second round of qualifying in the Champions League, the Georgian outfit did well to see off Flora in round one and performed admirably in a 3-1 aggregate defeat to Slovan Bratislava.
It has been a different story for Larne, who managed to ease past Tre Fiori 3-1 over two legs before they were hammered 9-0 by Crvena Zvezda, which highlighted the huge gulf in class.
Iberia 1999 have lost just one of their last eight matches in normal time and they have also looked strong on their travels, as they are unbeaten in their last three away assignments.
Travel disruption or not, the visitors are performing at a better level than Larne and this could end up being a disappointing European night for the Northern Irish champions.
Score prediction: Larne 1-2 Iberia 1999
