Sheriff Tiraspol hosts FC Crvena Zvezda in the second leg of the Champions League qualification semifinals. The match will be played on Tuesday, August 10th at Stadionul Sheriff (Tiraspol)
Sheriff Tiraspol is already habitually perceived as the unconditional number 1 in Moldova (although there were a couple of exceptions to this rule). And it always takes a start in the qualification of the Champions League. However, this path has never been passed to the end. The Wasps have played in the group stage several times, but only in the Europa League. Under the management of Yuriy Vernydub, Sheriff Tiraspol managed to get closer to the goal. The elimination of Teuta and Alashkert was perceived as the fulfillment of a compulsory program. The real test was in Belgrade, and the Wasps passed it well. They didn't manage to keep the advantage, but a draw is a strategically good outcome.

FC Crvena Zvezda does not always look convincing in international matches. Now the Red-and-Whites force the fans to remember that they didn’t get into the Champions League in 2020. They even didn’t eliminate Omonia in the qualifiers (the only match in Cyprus ended 1-1, and the hosts were better on penalties). Dejan Stankovic's charges have enough problems again. The first bell sounded in the confrontation against Kairat, but losing 2-1 in Kazakhstan, Crvena Zvezda took a convincing revenge in Belgrade (5-0). This round began in Serbia, and everything did not go according to the hosts' plan. At first, they conceded a goal at the end of half an hour of the game. Yes, the Serbs managed to win back even before the break, but it was the last success: in the 57th minute, Kanga picked up the 2nd yellow card, and the hosts were forced to defend.
Once again, experts believe in Crvena Zvezda. But why shouldn’t the Wasps impose a fight again, especially since they will be playing at home? We bet that the hosts will not lose.
Prediction for the match: Sheriff Tiraspol to win with +0.5 handicap
