Sheriff Tiraspol and FC Utrecht will put on the line their Europa League ambitions when they face off in the second qualifying round, first leg. The two sides clash on Thursday, hosted by Sheriff at Nisporeni Stadium. We have the prediction for this match below.
Apart from the blips in their last two matches, Sheriff have had a near-perfect season so far. The Moldovan side is coming from a 0-0 draw with Petrocub, having earlier lost 2-1 to Prishtina.
Both of those were away matches, and now they return home, where they last lost in August 2024. In the first qualifying round, Sheriff beat Prishtina 5-2 on aggregate. In this game, Sheriff will seek to improve after suffering seven defeats in their last 10 matches in Europe.
Utrecht are starting their season with a return to Europe after being absent for over a decade. The last time the Dutch side played at this level was in 2011, and indeed, they haven't been in Europe since.
Having been absent for such a duration, they’ll be expected to struggle, but Sheriff may just not be the team to trouble them. This could be evidenced by the visitors’ strong finish to the Eredivisie. T
hough they failed to win any of their last three competitive matches, Utrecht lost just twice in 12.

Our Sheriff Tiraspol vs Utrecht Prediction
Utrecht will not have it easy against the hosts, who are favored by the fact that they’ve played more competitively in recent weeks. Key to Sheriff’s good run has been flying off the blocks. They score the opening goal more often in their matches, and we can expect the same here.
This will be supported by the visitors’ expected struggles in playing their first game of the season. Utrecht have actually conceded first in nine of their last 15 competitive games.
