The “Yellow” team finished in second place last season. Elfsborg accumulated the same number of points as Malmö in 30 matches but lost the gold medals on additional criteria. However, in the current Swedish Championship season, Elfsborg has been underwhelming and is currently in seventh place.
In 17 matches, Elfsborg has earned 25 points, with 8 wins and 8 losses. They are 13 points behind the top spot. The team heads into the second leg against Sheriff after a home defeat to Djurgården with a score of 1-2. It’s also worth noting that in the previous round of the Europa League qualifiers, the Swedes confidently defeated Cypriot Paphos twice.
The “Yellow-Blacks” are rightly considered the strongest club in Moldova, having won 21 championship titles. However, every streak eventually comes to an end. Last season, Sheriff finished only in second place, trailing Petrocub by six points. In the current Championship, Sheriff secured five wins and suffered two losses.
In the previous round of the Europa League, Yuriy Gura’s team faced Azerbaijani Zira. After losing 0-1 at home, Sheriff managed to win 2-1 away, and the winner was ultimately decided in a penalty shootout. Similarly, the fate of the home match against Swedish Elfsborg was also decided by a penalty, converted by the visitors in the 86th minute.
