Prishtina take on the visitors Sheriff Tiraspol in the second leg of UEFA Europa League Qualification round of 1/8-finals. First leg result: 0-4. The match will be played on Thursday, July 17th at Stadiumi Fadil Vokrri (Pristina).
Prishtina are a solid and experienced club. The Blues were founded back in the early 20th century. For most of their history, they played at a modest level, though the 1980s are still considered their “golden era” — albeit modest by broader standards. Within Kosovo’s domestic competitions, they’ve collected a fair share of trophies. However, over the past decade they’ve managed to win the league only once, in 2021. Last season, they finished just fifth in the Superliga, failing to mount a serious title challenge. On the bright side, they secured the Albanian Cup by narrowly defeating Llapi 1-0 in the final. That victory granted them another shot at European football, where they currently compete in the UEFA Europa League. Unfortunately, they suffered a heavy 0-4 defeat in Tiraspol, offering little resistance throughout the match.

Sheriff represent Transnistria, a region with a disputed status, but compete in Moldovan domestic competitions. Not only do they participate — they dominate, having collected the vast majority of titles in the league’s history. In 2022, they famously qualified for the Champions League group stage for the first time, even defeating Real Madrid and Shakhtar Donetsk. However, for two seasons now, they have failed to lift the league trophy, most recently slipping behind Milsami in the final stretch of the 2024 campaign. This season, they seem intent on regaining control, starting the new domestic league with a series of convincing victories, including a 2-1 win over reigning champions Milsami. Over the weekend, they followed up with a narrow 1-0 win against Bălți, showing consistency even in tighter matches.
The clubs met for the first time just last week. Sheriff comfortably won the home leg 4-0, leaving little doubt about the difference in class. There is a clear gap in quality between the sides, and the visitors from Tiraspol are significantly stronger. Back Sheriff to win again, this time with a draw no bet option for added safety.
Prediction for the match: Sheriff to win with 0.0 handicap.
