Sheriff Tiraspol come up to the upcoming encounter with 12-match unbeaten run in official clashes. Last time the team failed to pick up points was on the 14th of April. Afterwards Sheriff Tiraspol got eight victories and four draws. The Moldova's side has not lost on the road since the 4th of December 2016 recording six wins and three draws, having conceded just two goals during that streak.
Kukesi and Sheriff Tiraspol are the teams of nearly the same level. And the winner of the mentioned above pair will be knocked out in the next round with 90% possibility as the rivals' demonstrate pointedly weak football. Concerning the forthcoming battle, alike to the first-leg game, it is unlikely to bring a lot of goal attempts and scored goals.
Prediction for the match: Under 2.5 scored goals.
