Our prediction for this Europa League match:
Klaksvik and Sheriff Tiraspol go head to head at Torsvollur in the first leg of the Europa League final qualifying round. The Faroe Islands outfit have been performing above expectations in European competitions this term, but Molde proved to be a big catch for them in the Champions League third qualifying round. There are no fresh injury worries in the home team, but Denmark defender Patrick Da Silva is widely expected to return to the starting XI.
The Moldovan champions, on the other hand, are brimming with confidence following a 5-0 win over Dacia Buiucani and even though Klaksvik are tough to beat at home, we are tempted to put our money on the favourites. Roberto Bordin can count on key players for Thursday’s clash, which is yet another reason why away win should be considered this time out.
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.
