Sheriff Tiraspol welcome Servette to Stadionul Sheriff for a UEFA Europa League fixture on Thursday (October 26).
The hosts are coming off a omfortable 4-0 win over Sparta Selemet in the Moldovan Super Liga at the same venue over the weekend. David Ankeye scored a brace to guide his side to victory.
Servette, meanwhile, claimed maximum points in a narrow 1-0 ain at Basel in the Swiss Super League. Yoan Severin's 63rd-minute strike proved to be the difference between the two sides.
Les Grenats will turn their attention back to the continent, where their last game saw them suffer a harrowing 4-0 defeat at AS Roma. Sheriff, meanwhile, also suffered a debilitating defeat, losing 6-0 at Slavia Prague.

Sheriff vs Servette Prediction
It's crunch time for Sheriff and Servette, with their loss in their previous outing leaving little margin for error to qualify for the knockouts. Roma and Slavia Prague are the more established sides in the group and were tipped to battle it out for the top spot in the group.
The hierarchy seems to have already been established, with Servette and Sheriff's double-header looking likely to be the determinant for who finishes third.
Sheriff recently parted ways with former manager Roberto Bordin following the club's heaviest European defeat to Slavia Prague last time out. New manager Pilipchuk kickstarted his tenure with a comfortable domestic win and will look to replicate the feat in the continent.
Nevertheless, expect the two sides to cancel each other out in a low-scoring stalemate.
Prediction: Sheriff 1-1 Servette
