Our prediction for this Europa Conference League match:
Following a heavy 3-0 loss in Slovenia, Sheriff Tiraspol will look to give fans some cheer when they face Olimpija Ljubljana at their Sheriff Arena. The Moldovan champions need a big win in the return leg and they have no other option but to go all guns blazing at the Slovenian outfit. There are no fresh injury concerns in the home team, while Albania defender Alesio Mija is back from suspension.
Mislav Karoglan’s troops, on the other hand, made a flying start to the new season, with the team producing excellent displays in all competitions. Given Olimpija's recent defensive strength, we believe that punters worldwide might find value in backing under 2.5 goals. Victor Sanchez rested several first-team regulars in a goalless draw with Domzale at the weekend, but the Spanish tactician is going to field the best possible side this time out, with both Marcel Ratnik and Dino Kojic returning to the starting XI.
Highlighted Team (Sheriff Tiraspol):
Sheriff Tiraspol or simply Sheriff are the most successful Moldavian club. The club was founded in 1997 four years later (2000/2001) they won their first Moldovan National Division trophy. Over the years Sheriff Tiraspol have established themselves as the dominant force in the Moldovan football and you should that they won their 15th domestic trophy in the 2016/2017 season.
Sheriff were level on points with Dacia Chisinau, but thanks to a better goal difference Roberto Bordin’s men won the national championship. The Moldovan champions wear yellow shirts and yellow shorts when playing at home, whilst the colour of their away kits is black. Sheriff Tiraspol host their opponents at Sheriff Stadium in Tiraspol and the venue can hold 12.746 people.
By beating the likes of Dinamo Tirana and Dinamo Zagreb the Moldovan club did well to make it to the Champions League play-off round in the 2010/2011 season, but Basel eventually proved to be a big catch for them.
