Sherriff Tiraspol will welcome Omonia Nicosia to Sheriff Stadium for their final Group E fixture in the Europa League on Thursday Night.
Both sides have failed to qualify for the knockout stages of the competition, but Sheriff Tiraspol are in better position to continue their European endeavors in the Conference. They only need to avoid defeat on Thursday.
Sheriff sit third in the group on three points, three points above their visitors, Omonia, who have failed to pick up a single point in the group so far. Tiraspol won 3-0 at away in the reverse fixture and should fancy their chances at home.
The Moldovans claimed a 2-1 home win over Dacia in their previous domestic league fixture, making it three consecutive victories at home in the league. They will look to draw confidence from that run as they seek secure their place in the last-32 of the Conference League.
Omonia need to win on Thursday, with at least two goals to secure a third-place finish in the group. As mentioned earlier Omonia have lost all their five games and will be desperate to end the Europa League in a style or at least with a point.
They claimed a 2-0 home win over Anorthosis Famagusta in their domestic league tie, ending their six-match losing streak in all competitions. Therefore, they hope to draw confidence from the win as they seek their first win in Group E.
