Our prediction for this Europa League match:
Boras Arena will be the centre of attention when Elfsborg and Sheriff Tiraspol lock horns in a highly-anticipated Europa League game. Elfsborg won the first leg thanks to Simon Hedlund’s goal, but their job is only half done. There are no fresh injury worries in the Allsvenskan outfit ahead of the return leg.
The Moldovans, on the other hand, are eager to make amends for the 1-0 in defeat in Tiraspol, but beating Elfsborg on the road is easier said than done. Taking everything into account, we believe that there is a big value in betting on draw. Both Ademo and Mija are one yellow card away from suspension, speaking of the visiting team. Nigeria forward Rasheed Akanbi is widely expected to return to the starting XI after coming as a substitute in the first leg. Anyhow, a close encounter is on the cards at Boras Arena.
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.
