Sheriff Tiraspol take on the visitors Klaksvik in the second leg of UEFA Europa League qualification finals. First time result: 1-1. The match will be played on Thursday, August 31st at Stadionul Sheriff (Tiraspol).
Sheriff are determined to advance to the group stage. Yellow-blacks are aptly compared to PSG itself – just like the French giant, titles are almost consistently produced on their home turf in Tiraspol. However, the Wasps have only managed to reach the main round of the Champions League once – two years ago under Vernydub. But twice since then, this ambitious club has suffered elimination in the qualifying rounds. This time, dramatically, they suffered defeat in the play-offs, first after thrashing Farul at home following a 0-1 loss in Romania, and then succumbing to the reverse scenario against Maccabi (1-4 in extra time in Haifa after a narrow home win). The Moldovans redeemed themselves with a 5-1 thrashing of BATE, then allowed the Belarusians a draw in their final match. They scored an equal number of goals, 1 each, in the Faroe Islands last Thursday.

KI Klaksvik have already performed excellently. After a prolonged slump, the Blue-whites are back on track. They have won the championship three times in the last four seasons, bringing their total trophy count to 20, and there were few doubts about the new gold – the current campaign began with 16 consecutive victories. However, they struggled on the international stage. This time, under Magni Hoset's guidance, the Faroese managed to make their mark, securing their place in the group stage of at least the Conference League. As usual, the Faroe Islands side began their journey in the Champions League qualifiers. They even defeated Ferencvaros (with a 3-0 win in Budapest) and Hacken, and managed a home victory over Molde, though they suffered a 0-2 defeat in Norway. The Moldovans also failed to secure a win on August 24 – Silva opened the scoring in the 52nd minute, but Sheriff responded with a goal from Ngom-Mbekeli to seal a 1-1 draw. However, the team that wins in Transnistria will ultimately progress to the group stage.
Faroese teams have rarely made appearances in European competitions. Therefore, it's not surprising that they will face Sheriff for the first time. The favorite of the pair is playing at their home ground. We recommend placing a bet on the more experienced yellow-blacks to win with a -1.0 goal handicap.
Prediction for the match: Sheriff Tiraspol to win with -1.0 handicap.
