Sheriff Tiraspol hosts Dinamo Zagreb in the first leg of the Champions League qualification final. The match will be played on Tuesday, August 17th at Stadionul Sheriff (Tiraspol)
Sheriff Tiraspol has the deserved status of the best team in Moldova. The Wasps win gold medals of the national championship in almost every season. And, accordingly, they constantly play in the qualification of the Champions League. But the club has never advanced to the group stage. In 2019, the Wasps were eliminated by the first opponent, the Georgian Saburtalo. In the previous season, Sheriff Tiraspol knocked out Fola Esch but then lost to Qarabag. Under the management of Yuriy Vernydub, the Wasps are doing much better. The elimination of both Teuta and Alashkert was quite expected. But then the Yellow-Blacks knocked out a truly formidable opponent, Crvena Zvezda. The match in Belgrade ended in a 1- draw1, and Arboleda's goal brought the Wasps a minimum victory in Tiraspol.

Dinamo Zagreb has long been perceived as the best team in Croatia. And the Blues look very confident even now. Yes, they frankly flunked the start of the new draw in the national championship. But all efforts are thrown at overcoming the qualification of the Champions League. In the previous season, Dinamo Zagreb played excellently in the Europa League, and their comeback with Tottenham will enter the club annals. Still, the Blues want to try their hand in the group stage of the main European Cup. So far, there were no special problems in the qualification. Dinamo Zagreb confidently eliminated Valur, Omonia, and Legia.
In 2010, Sheriff Tiraspol eliminated Dinamo Zagreb in the Champions League qualification. Both matches ended in a 1-1 draw, but the Moldovans won a penalty shootout at home. But after that, Dinamo Zagreb no longer left the slightest chance for the opponent: four victories in four matches with a total score of 9-0. Even in Tiraspol, the Blues look like clear favorites, and judging by the quotes, they should win. But that's what they thought about FC Crvena Zvezda. Sheriff Tiraspol may surprise again. We will believe that at least the hosts will not lose the upcoming game.
Prediction for the match: Sheriff Tiraspol to win with +0.5 handicap
