Sheriff – Dinamo Zagreb

Dinamo Zagreb are the final hurdle for Sheriff Tiraspol in the UEFA Champions League group stage qualification. The Yellow-Blacks secured their 19th Divizia Naționala title this May, earning a shot at UEFA Champions League group stage qualification. The Croatians have won four successive fixtures against the Moldovans, not allowing them to score in any of their meetings. Damir Krznar’s defensive tactics have won his side fixtures against Valur, Omonia and Legia, and he will look to shut out Sheriff on their path to group stages.

Sheriff Tiraspol has not won against Dinamo Zagreb in their most recent four head-to-head fixtures. Prior to that, they did manage to knock out the Croatians at this stage of the competition in the 2008/09 campaign. Dinamo Zagreb has not lost on the road in the qualification fixtures and it looks unlikely they will drop that ball so close to the objective.
