Sheriff Tiraspol vs Real Sociedad Predictions

• This term’s UEL group stage is yet to produce a goalless draw.
• The visitors have lost just one of their last nine Europa League away games.
• Sheriff have won just one of their last six UEL home games without needing extra-time or penalties.

Europa League has Sheriff’s focus

The hosts sit top of the Moldovan Super Liga and they have managed to build a healthy margin between themselves and second place. It means they are able to focus on this competition and they will look to return to winning ways after being defeated by Manchester United on matchday two. They are at somewhat of a disadvantage though with their European home matches being staged in Chişinău and they have struggled to win inside 90 minutes in the Europa League.

The visitors however currently top Group E after they were victorious against Manchester United and Omonia Nicosia. They’ll be looking to make it three straight victories to strengthen their grip on the top spot. They were involved in an eight-goal thriller at the weekend and showed their determination to beat Girona 5-3 and that kind of attitude will serve them well in this encounter.

Spanish outfit to return home with another three points

We’re expecting an interesting contest and whilst Sheriff will look to draw on that famous night when they beat Real Madrid, they haven’t been playing with that same tenacity and we will side with Real Sociedad to get the job done.
