The Moldovan National Division is on a roll right now and Sheriff is the current leader in the table with 33 points to their credit and a 33-14 goal difference after 14 matches. The Wasps have already passed the first qualification round of UEFA Champions League this season where they were able to beat Torpedo from Georgia (1-2, 3-0). The team has had 10 away fixtures this year, won 5 of them, drew 2 and lost 3.
The Macedonians and the Moldovans have never faced each other before. Considering the hosting side has been playing really well in front of their home crowd lately and Sheriff have been not that good on the away side it is likely that Shkendija will continue their home match undefeated streak.
Prediction for the match: Shkendija to win with 0 handicap.
