Sheriff now need, if not a miracle, then a breakthrough. The Black and Yellows had a great season. It's not about the next championship title - the 1st place in Moldova has long become a normality for the representative of Tiraspol, something like a mandatory program. But finally, the club that played the maximum in the group stage of the Europa League showed itself in the Champions League. Wards of Vernidub, knocking out Dinamo Zagreb and Crvena Zvezda in qualifying, made their debut in the main round of the main European Cup. It turned out great: 4 points with Shakhtar, a victory over Real Madrid and even reaching the playoffs, however, of the Europa League. Now the Moldovans, already under the leadership of Thomas, have successfully overcome 2 barriers. It was done in a boring style: both against Zrinjski and against Maribor, everything was decided by a single goal in 180 minutes. But on Tuesday, having opened the score from a penalty spot in a conditionally home match in Chisinau, Sheriff eventually lost limply. Hora first converted the 12-yard kick, but also assisted to Buche at the beginning of the 2nd half.
On August 2, the clubs held their first head-to-head match. Viktoria already have an advantage, but at home they should play at least as well. We recommend betting on the victory of the Czechs with a handicap of "-1 goal".
Prediction for the match: Viktoria Plzen to win with -1.0 handicap.
