Football Prediction Sheriff Tiraspol vs Shkendija:
It seems clear to me that both teams have taken a lot of the home factor, believing that there is value here in exploring the home side. Shkendija are very strong in Macedonia having defeated this S. Tiraspol 1-0, but already in the previous tie had thrashed at home the TNS by 5-0. However, they went on to move to Wales in a 4-0 defeat in a clear example of the difficulties they have out of the competition.
S. Tiraspol is a more successful team in this kind of games, and makes their home an authentic fortress, just to see that last season received foreign teams like Légia, Copenhagen, Lokomotiv Moscow, Zlin, and most recently Torpedo Kutaisi, and none of them managed to win in Moldova.
That being said, and with odd close to the pair, I believe they can score two goals that may or may not (if they suffer) dictate the qualification for the next round.
Bet Tip: Sheriff Tiraspol over 1.5 goals
Odds: 1.90
