Sheriff made a big step towards qualification to the third qualifying round of the UEFA Champions League with a 1-0 away win over Alashkert in the first leg. In the return leg, at home, it is all about finishing the job and with a three-match winning run, there’s all the indication they can do it. They also have three straight clean sheets and have failed to score in just one of the last five matches. In the previous round, Sheriff saw off Albanian side Teuta Dures 5-0 on aggregate and they go here with six clean sheets in their last 10 home matches. Sheriff rarely goes too far in the Champions League, but in their home matches in the competition, they have a good run. In the last 10 home matches in the competition, they have eight clean sheets and five wins.

Alashkert had good form ahead of their meeting with Sheriff in the first leg of this tie. They were on a five-game unbeaten run, though they rarely scored more than a goal. Now they have a real uphill task as they travel to Moldova. They have managed to score more than a goal in just three of their last 10 matches, but only failed to score completely in two. They need at least two goals in this game to advance, but that is not the only factor that will worry them; they have just three wins in the 13 Champions League matches they’ve ever played. This will be their seventh away match in the Champions League, and in the earlier six, they’ve never won any.
