Sheriff Stadium will host the first leg of the Europa League first qualifying round as Sheriff Tiraspol take on Aluminij in a match where the Moldovan giants will be eager to make home advantage count. Given the huge gap in experience between the two sides, we predict a 2-0 home win. Sheriff have already begun their domestic campaign, beating Real Sireti 3-0 before drawing 0-0 with Politehnica, showing their usual defensive discipline. Although last season's top scorer Amarildo Gjoni has departed, Jayder Asprilla Moreno is expected to lead the attack. Sheriff have won all four of their last home matches, scoring 2.0 goals per game without conceding once, while keeping six clean sheets in their last ten outings overall.
Aluminij, meanwhile, head into the tie with limited European experience and low confidence after consecutive preseason defeats to Noah and Partizan. The Slovenian side have struggled in front of goal lately, averaging only 0.6 goals per match across their last ten games and failing to score in half of those fixtures. Their away record is also concerning, with just 0.5 goals scored per game on the road. Given Sheriff's strong home form and far greater continental experience, the hosts should be capable of taking a valuable first-leg advantage.
As Moldova boast outstanding home form and far more European experience, our main prediction firmly points toward Home Win, alongside Sheriff to Win to Nil and Under 3.5 goals (Sheriff are defensively solid, and Aluminij's lack of firepower could keep the scoring relatively low).
This Europa League match will be played on Thursday 9 July 2026 at 18:00.
