Sheriff Tiraspol take on the visitors Pyunik Yerevan in the second leg of UEFA Europa League qualification finals. First leg result: 0-0. The match will be played on Thursday, August 25th at Stadionul Sheriff (Tiraspol).
Sheriff are definitely not as good as in 2021. The Black and Yellows set their records last season by making their debut in the main round of the Champions League. Moreover, they managed to take 3rd place there, ahead of Shakhtar Donetsk, and proceed to the playoffs of the Europa League. By the way, here's the second aspect, the exit to the "spring", is still possible. Yes, in the Champions League qualification, the Moldovans lost to ViKtoria Plzen. But, having fallen into a less rated European Cup, Thomas' wards returned to a pragmatic scenario, which helped to beat Zrinjski and pass Maribor. In Yerevan, as well as in Bosnia and Slovenia, the "wasps" recorded a goalless draw.

Pyunik was able to return to a high level. The "Academy" has a record number of championship titles. But after 2015, the "gold" could not be won again. And only after the arrival of Yeghishe Melikyan it turned out to return to the 1st place. And then the Armenians were able to show fighting qualities, knocking out in the Champions League qualification both CFR (on the road, in the penalty shoot-out) and Dudelange (although during the second leg the Luxembourgers had a handicap of 2 goals). On the other hand, 0-7 as a general result of the 2-match confrontation with Crvena Zvezda showed well what this team can seriously count for. But the Moldovans are not as good now as the Serbs, whom they played under Vernidub, in 2021- m. Pyunik played in Yerevan 0-0 with the Moldovans, and completely lost to F91. So don't be surprised if they do better again in away leg.
So far, there is an opportunity to repeat the ups and downs of the 2006 qualification. Then Sheriff was already playing 0-0 in Armenia. After that, they confidently defeated Pyunik in their own arena, 2-0. Judging by the odds, the Sheriff's victory is expected, and quite easy. But, remembering how he minimally, 1-0, passed Zrinjski with Maribor, a bet on "less than 2.5 goals”.
Prediction for the match: Under 2.5 scored goals.
