Dinamo Zagreb – Sheriff

The qualifiers for the Champions League continue this week and will see Dinamo Zagreb host Moldovan outfit Sheriff Tiraspol on Wednesday. Dinamo Zagreb impressed in the previous stages of the Champions League qualifiers. They defeated Valur Reykjavik and Omonia Nicosia both home and away in the first and second rounds respectively. Then they faced Legia in the third round of the qualifiers. Dinamo Zagreb played a 1-1 draw in the first leg of the tie but completed the job with a 1-0 victory on away turf in the return leg.

Sheriff Tiraspol will have the chance to play in the Champions League for the first time in the club’s history. They have performed remarkably well in the qualification process, winning all but one of their matchups.

Dinamo and Sheriff Tiraspol have met nine times in the past. Dinamo Zagreb have won six of the games while Sheriff Tiraspol have won once – the first leg of the qualifiers saw Sheriff Tiraspol defeat their visitors 3-0. Our prediction is for a home victory and over 2,5 goals.
