Dinamo Zagreb host Sheriff Tiraspol in the second leg of the Champions League qualification final. The match will be played on Wednesday, August 25th at Stadion Maksimir (Zagreb)
Dinamo Zagreb should be inspired by the example of their feat in the spring. The Blues were then written off by everyone: the defeat in London and the scandalous departure of the coach due to the fact that he was found guilty under a criminal article. However, Orsic and company unexpectedly hammered Tottenham and advanced to the next round. Then Jose Mourinho himself paid a lot of compliments to the Croatian team. And that defeat in many respects led to the dismissal of the Special One from the post of manager of the Spurs. Now everything seemed to be in favor of the Croatians going to the group round of the Champions League. They have retained almost all their leaders and have already eliminated three opponents in qualification (Valur, Omonia, and even Legia). But Dinamo Zagreb suddenly failed in Tiraspol.

Sheriff Tiraspol have already reached the decisive stage of qualification. But in the end, the Yellow-Blacks lost there. Moreover, the champion of Moldova was a rare guest even in the group stage of the Europa League. But under the management of Yuriy Vernydub, the club from Tiraspol is simply churning out sensations. Of course, the experts expected the Wasps to eliminate Albanian Teuta, and a misfire with Armenian Alashkert would have been a surprise. But then they knocked out Crvena Zvezda (1-1 and 1-0) and scored three unanswered in the first leg against Dinamo Zagreb. Adama Traore became the hero of the last game (he scored a brace). However, the leader of the Moldovan team, Henrique Luvannor, also left his name in the match minutes by making an assist. Therefore, Sheriff Tiraspol gained a great advantage before the upcoming match.
In 2010, Sheriff reached the decisive round of the Champions League qualification, knocking out Dinamo Zagreb on penalties (after two 1-1 draws). But after that, the Croats won all four head-to-head matches until last Tuesday. The situation for Dinamo Zagreb is difficult, but it must try to make a comeback. The game shouldn't be boring, so we are waiting for Over 2.5 goals scored.
Prediction for the match: Over 2.5 goals scored
