Sheriff Tiraspol vs Zrinjski Prediction: Moldavian champion beats Bosnian

Sheriff snatched a nil draw in the first leg of the qualifying round of the Champions League from Bosnia, where they faced the champion of this country, Zrinjski. In the return home game, will Sheriff cope with the Bosnians and advance to the next round? Let's pick a few bets at once.

The club from Tiraspol finished the last championship of Moldova on the first line. Their regular success in the domestic arena allows the Sheriff to play regularly in European competitions. The first game against Zrinski for the Tiraspol side was their 85th appearance in the Champions League.

It is important to recall that in the previous competition, Sheriff took part in the group stage for the first time in their history and finished third in the quartet with Real Madrid, Inter Milan and Shakhtar Donetsk.

Zrinjski isn't as successful at home as the Sheriff in Moldova, but it is still a title-winning side. The 2021/22 title is their seventh in its history. In Bosnia and Herzegovina, Zrinjski is ahead of Željezničar, who has six trophies.

Zrinjski has never played in European competitions, neither in the Champions League, nor in the Europa League. The Bosnian club's best record is four relegations in the third qualifying round of the UEFA Champions League.

The Sheriff is more experienced than Zrinjski. In addition, last year's experience in the group stage against Real Madrid and Inter was a good thing for the team. In the return game, Tiraspol should simply crush the champion of Bosnia and Herzegovina.
