Sheriff Tiraspol take on the visitors Omonia in the round 6 match of UEFA Europa League group stage. The match will be played on Thursday, November 3rd at Stadionul Zimbru (Chişinău)
Sheriff seriously passed compared to last year. The "Wasps" have long secured the status of the undisputed strongest club in Moldova. European cups have been a priority for Tiraspol for a long time. And last year, finally, under the leadership of Vernydub, it was possible to debut in the main round of the Champions League, and even take 3rd place in the group. Qualifying campaign in the Champions League this season now ended with a relegation. Yes, and in the Europa League so far, Thomas's wards have been more than predicted. They even defeated Omonia on the road. But then there were unopposed defeats, 0-2 or even 0-3, against the favorites, Real Sociedad and Manchester United.

Omonia are just too weak right now. The "Queen" in 2021 was able to return the championship title in Cyprus. But then there was a slide to 7th place, but in combination with winning the national cup. This was enough to start again in the Europa League. In qualifying, the team managed to confidently and solidly, 2-0 each, won Gent in both matches. But, having advanced to the group stage, the team turned out to be completely unable to fight. Everything was shown already in the 1st round, when Omonia lost at home to another nominal outsider, Sheriff, with a score of 0-3. Yes, out of the next 4 meetings, the Cypriots lost three times with a minimum difference, from 0-1 to 2-3, and only last Thursday there was a completely understandable 0-2 with Real Sociedad. Formally, it is still possible to move the Moldovans from the 3rd place. But you need to compensate for 0-3 in Nicosia in September, that is, to score in Chisinau (where the "wasps" take on opponents this season) with at least 4 goals.
There was only 1 head-to-head in reverse fixture - before the current draw, Omonia has never crossed paths with Sheriff even at the level of friendly duels. The Sheriff not only does not need to win or at least draw - he can lose by 2 goals. But, of course, we want to please the fans, so we recommend betting that the Moldovans will win again.
Prediction for the match: Sheriff Tiraspol to win.
