Sheriff Tiraspol vs Zira Prediction & Betting Tips (11 July)

When we talk about FC Sheriff, we are forced to think back to the feat he achieved at the Bernabéu by defeating Real Madrid 1-2. His epic journey in the Champions League has clearly marked the history of the competition and his personal history. The locals now find themselves playing in the Europa League qualifiers. We will still note that after 3 consecutive coronations in Moldova, the wasps gave up their crown last season at the expense of Petrocub. As preparation, they only participated in one friendly match, in the victory against the Macedonians of Floresti 5-0.

On the other side of the meadow, we find the Azerbaijani club of Zira, which finished well , well, far from Qarabag in the league last season, with no less than 25 points behind. 2nd all the same, Zira made her ticket to participate in these qualifiers. Last year, the Eagles did not go beyond the 2nd round of the C4 qualifiers, losing against Maccabi Tel Aviv, notably because of a very heavy defeat at home 0-3 in the first leg, 0- 0 on return. Like their evening opponent, the Azerbaijanis only played one friendly match, against the Romanians of FC Hermannstadt 1-2.

Some strong men from the previous campaign have left. This is the case of David Ankeye (5 goals), transferred to Genoa, of the Moroccan Talal (ex-Bastia, who left for Akhmat Grozny in Russia) or even of Luvannor (7 goals in the league last season) who left for Saudi Arabia from next to Al Bukayriyah. The Burkinabé international, Badolo (7 goals in the league last season) should remain faithful to the post and be operational this evening. Ditto for the Cape Verdean international Joao Paulo (4 goals last year), for the Brazilian Ricardinho (4 goals) and the Nigerian Akanbi (3 goals).

On loan from Qarabag last season, Ahmadzada (2 goals in the league ) returned to his club. This is ultimately one of the only main departures since the most prolific elements in the championship from last season are still present. In this case, let's talk about the Azerbaijani international Aliyev (6 goals), Soumah (5 goals), Sadykhov (3 pawns) and even Bayramov (2 goals).
