Sheriff Tiraspol – Farul Constanta : Preview & Prediction
Sheriff Tiraspol clearly didn’t get off to the best of starts in the first round of Champions League qualifying. The Moldavian club was expecting a tough double-header against Farul Constanta, the latest winners of the Romanian league. In the first leg, they lost 1-0 away from home. Roberto Bordin’s men did, however, take more shots on goal (9 against their opponents’ 6). They will therefore be doing their utmost to reverse the trend in the return leg, in front of their home fans. And Moldova’s most recent champions will have plenty to play for. They appear to be far more experienced than their opponents, who are not used to playing in European competitions. It’s true that Farul Constanta were able to win their 1st league game last weekend, against FC Hermannstadt (0-1). Just before the start of the Champions League, however, they lost the Romanian Supercup to Sepsi Sf. Gheorghe (0-1). This trip to Tiraspol promises to be even more complicated. The Sheriff will be looking to make the most of their status and reach the next qualifying round of Europe’s premier club competition.
