Elfsborg vs Sheriff Tiraspol Prediction - Europa League

In the first leg, the Swedish team won 1-0. Therefore, Elfsborg can secure their advancement with either another victory or a draw. The Moldovan team needs to win by two or more goals to overturn the situation. A one-goal win for Sheriff Tiraspol will lead to extra time of 30 minutes, and if necessary, a penalty shootout.

Elfsborg and Sheriff Tiraspol are in the second stage of the four-stage qualification process for the 2024/2025 Europa League. The winner will face the victor of the Hunedoara (Romania) and Rijeka (Croatia) clash in the semi-finals. The recommendation for Thursday’s match is to bet on Elfsborg’s win in this second leg of the Europa League qualifiers quarter-finals. In the goals over/under market, the suggestion is betting on the over 1.75 goals option.

Predictions for Elfsborg vs. Sheriff Tiraspol

Elfsborg Wins the Match

Over the weekend, Elfsborg faced a setback in their Swedish Championship journey and their quest for a Europa League spot, ending their six-game winning streak with a loss to Djurgarden in the Allsvenskan. Meanwhile, Sheriff Tiraspol, with its exclusive focus on the selection process, turned the tables after a home loss in the round of 16. Betting on Elfsborg’s victory is recommended for this Thursday’s return leg of the quarterfinals in the 2024/2025 Europa League qualifiers.

Over/Under Goals – Above 1.75 Goals Scored

Although Elfsborg only needs a draw to advance in the 2024/2025 Europa League qualifiers, their offensive style suggests they are unlikely to stay defensive in Thursday’s match against Sheriff Tiraspol in the return leg of the selection process. Utilizing the over/under market to place an additional wager, the recommendation is on the option of over 1.75 goals scored.
