Sheriff Tiraspol vs Zira Prediction: 11/7/2024

Sheriff will look to start their Europa League qualifying journey positively as they host Zira at Sheriff Arena on Thursday afternoon. The Moldovan champions, who have considerable experience in this competition, need to demonstrate their abilities on the field. Keep an eye on their speedy winger Papa Ndiaga Yade, a recent addition from Metz, who is expected to be a key player.

Zira, on the other hand, hope to bounce back from their disappointing 2023/2024 Europa League campaign. However, facing Sheriff, a team with substantial experience, will be a tough challenge. It’s worth noting that Zira recently suffered a 2-1 defeat to Qarabag in their last competitive outing. A key player to watch in the visiting team is Guinea international Salifou Soumah, who has a background with Le Havre.

Prediction: 2-0
