Sheriff Tiraspol will welcome Slavia Prague to Stadionul Sheriff for a UEFA Europa League fixture on Thursday.
The hosts are coming into the game on the back of a routine 2-0 home win over Zimbru Chisinau in the Moldovan Super Liga on Sunday. Luvannor and Amine Talal scored first-half goals to guide their side to victory.
Slavia Prague, meanwhile, claimed maximum points with a 2-1 home win over Ceske Budejovice in the Czech Fortuna Liga. Vaclav Jurecka and Mojmir Chytil scored either side of Quadri Adediran to help the capital side secure the victory.
Červenobílí will turn their focus back to the continent, where their last game saw them claim a 2-0 home win over AS Roma. Sheriff's last game came in a 2-1 defeat away to Swiss outfit Servette.
The loss left them rooted to the bottom of Group G, having garnered just one point from four games. Slavia Prague lead the way at the summit on nine points, level on points and head-to-head record with Roma, but with a superior goal difference.

Sheriff vs Slavia Prague Prediction
Sheriff have been supreme domestically but have been unable to translate this form onto the continent. The Yellow-Blacks have been eliminated from the Europa League but still have slim hopes of dropping down to the Conference League.
Slavia Prague are locked in a two-way battle for top spot domestically and on the continent. Their immediate focus will be to top the group ahead of Roma to directly qualify for the round of 16.
