Sheriff Tiraspol hosts Teuta in the second leg of the Champions League qualification 1/8 finals. The match will be played on Tuesday, July 13th at Stadionul Sheriff (Tiraspol)
Sheriff Tiraspol have dominated in the championship of their country since 2000. The Wasps have already gained 20 champion’s titles, and they didn’t win only twice — in 2011 (2nd place) and 2015 (3rd). In the last draw, the team suffered only one defeat in 36 matches. In total, 99 points were scored in them. True, that result was spoiled by the defeat to Sfintul Gheorghe in the cup final (on penalties). Moreover, this opponent won the Super Cup in the same style. And the Yellow-Blacks started the new championship with a home defeat to Balti. So, it turned out that the Albanians just got in trouble with them.

Teuta won the second title in a difficult struggle (the first gold medals were gained in 1994). The club earned 66 points in 36 rounds. Vlaznia had the same number, and everything was decided by the indicators in head-to-head matches. And Partizan scored one point less. However, Teuta cannot be called a rookie in European competitions. Yes, the Blue-Whites made their debut in the Champions League only this summer, but there were half a dozen starts in the Europa League qualification. As a rule, they were eliminated by the very first opponent. But in 2020 Teuta surprised the experts by knocking out strong Beitar (fortunately, the regulations were non-standard due to the coronavirus, and everything was decided in one leg). Then there was a defeat to Granada (0-4), which was repeated by Sheriff's players on July 7. Enrique Luvanor opened the scoring already in the 14th minute and netted a brace even before the break, and as a result, the Albanians lost with a 4-goal difference.
Everything in this pair is already clear, and the question is who is the best to tune in to the return leg. We expect that everything will be decided before the break of the match in Tiraspol.
Prediction for the match: Sheriff Tiraspol to win the first half and the match
