Sheriff Tiraspol
All eyes will be on Stadion Stozice when Olimpija Ljubljana and Sheriff Tiraspol square off against each other in the Conference League third qualifying round, first leg. Olimpija showcased their worth in the double-header with Polissya Zhytomyr and you should bear in mind that they are eyeing their ninth consecutive win (including friendlies). There are no fresh injury concerns in the home team ahead of Thursday’s clash.
The Moldovans, on the other hand, kicked off the new domestic campaign with a routine 2-0 win over Dacia, but they will have a much bigger fish to fry in Ljubljana. Given Olimpija’s excellent form in all competitions, home win should definitely be considered. To make things even worse for the visiting team, Albanian defender Alesio Mija is banned for the first leg, while Nigeria midfielder Peter Ademo is only one yellow card away from suspension.
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.
