Sheriff vs Zira prediction and betting tips - July 11, 2024
Zira
In the first qualifying round of the UEFA Europa League, Sheriff Tiraspol will face Zira. The match will take place in Tiraspol on Thursday, July 11th, with the game scheduled to start at 19:00 Central European Time. Experts from Dailysports have provided their predictions for this match.
Sheriff
Sheriff lost their Moldovan championship title to Petrocub and for the first time in many years, they ended the season without any domestic trophies. As a result, the team is undergoing a roster overhaul ahead of the upcoming season.
The club has a significant number of foreign players, and Yuri Gura, who recently coached in Ukraine at Oleksandriya, has been appointed as the head coach. His objectives are to reclaim the championship title and advance to the group stage of a European competition.
Zira
The team was founded just ten years ago, but they are not new to European competitions. Last season, Zira finished second in the Azerbaijan Premier League and were noted for their solid defensive play.
However, the team struggled with scoring. Alongside matching their best league finish, Zira also reached the final of the national cup, where they lost to Qarabag.
Interesting Facts and Head-to-Head
- Sheriff has not lost a single home match in 2024.
- Zira has scored in each of their last four away matches.
- The teams have never met before.
Sheriff vs Zira Prediction
The Moldovan side is expected to confidently secure a place in the next qualifying round, considering the skill level of their players. I don't think Zira has the capability to beat Sheriff at their home ground. My bet is on the hosts not losing and the total goals being under 3.5.
