Looking to maintain their perfect record in the UEFA Champions League qualifiers, Viktoria Plzen visit the Zimbru Stadium to face Sheriff Tiraspol on Tuesday.
The Moldovan champions head into the game unbeaten in 15 straight games across all competitions and will look to keep the juggernaut rolling.
Sheriff Tiraspol were denied a dream start to their 2022-23 Moldovan Super Lig campaign as they were held to a 1-1 draw by Zimbru Chisinau on Saturday.
They have now turned their attention to the Champions League qualifiers, where they saw off Maribor in the second round courtesy of a 1-0 aggregate win.
Sheriff Tiraspol head into Tuesday unbeaten in 16 consecutive games across all competitions, claiming 11 wins and five draws in that time.
Like the hosts, Viktoria Plzen were held to a 2-2 draw by FK Teplice in their Czech Liga 1 curtain-raiser last time out.
Prior to that, they kicked off their Champions League with consecutive wins against HJK over two legs, scoring seven goals and conceding once.
Viktoria Plzen have lost just twice in 33 games across all competitions since the turn of the year and will look to keep this fine run going.
