Zrinjski (Bih) - Sheriff Tiraspol (Mda) Match Preview

In this match of the qualifiers for the UEFA Champions League, HNK Zrinjski from Bosnia and Herzegovina will play against Sheriff from Moldova. The match will be played in Mostar in Bosnia.

Zrinjski is the best team in the country, there is no doubt about that. They were dominant last season and lost only one match in the league. At home, they recorded 15 wins and only two draws. Ivas Basic left for Orenburg, but they kept Nemanja Bilbija who is in fantastic form in the last two seasons. Also, they signed Mario Cuze, a left winger from Dinamo Zagreb. He will be dangerous on that left side. I believe he will have a lot of assists to goal machine Nemanja Bilbija.

Sheriff had a couple of sensational results last year in the UEFA Champions League. They even won against Real Madrid at Santiago Bernabeu. But their team has changed a lot since then. Sebastien Thill loan deal had ended and he returned to Luxembourg. He scored 10 goals and had 17 assists for this team last season. Adama Traoré also left to Ferencvaros and he scored 19 goals with 9 assists last season.

Sheriff sold a lot of important players and I believe that they will not look like a team from last season, not at least at the very start of the season. I will go with Zrinjski to avoid defeat.
