Elfsborg will aim to defend their slender one-goal lead as they welcome Moldovan giants Sheriff Tiraspol to Boras Arena for the second leg of their Europa League second qualifying round tie on Thursday.
The Swedish club edged closer to advancing to the third round of the UEFA secondtier qualifiers after winning the first leg with a slim 1-0 scoreline, thanks to Simon Hedlund’s accuracy from the white spot in the 86th minute. Coach Oscar Hiljemark's men truly earned last week's victory as they dominated every aspect of the game against their Moldovan rivals, whose attacking line was completely neutralized with just one shot on target.
Elfsborg vs Sheriff Tiraspol Betting Tips: ELFSBORG TO WIN
A one-goal advantage guarantees absolutely nothing heading into the second leg, but Elfsborg should once again demonstrate their class to seal their spot in the third round of Europa League qualifying. Even though they fell short in gaining momentum for their European battle by losing 1-2 to title-chasers Djurgarden last time out, Di Gule can still boast about their exceptional recent form as they enjoyed a six-game winning run before the weekend slip-up.
While the Moldovan giant will aim to show their intent to retaliate against the Allsvenskan club, their plans may be hindered by poor performances on foreign soil, as their last 11 away fixtures have seen Sheriff end up on the losing side in seven instances. Despite making it to the Europa League group stage for the last two consecutive years, Zholto-Chornyye appears unlikely to advance to the main draw of Europe’s second-best football tournament this time, as they don’t exude the confidence needed to create a stir at Boras Arena during the week. Being down by a goal, Tiraspol club are forced to go all-out attacking from the start, but such a strategy could leave large gaps in their backline, which an attack-minded Elfsborg could exploit to settle this European tie.
