The only direct encounter between the teams took place last week in the current series. Zira sensationally won 1-0, managing just one shot on goal in the entire 90 minutes. Sheriff dominated on the field but couldn't score.

Zira

“Zira” looked very solid last season and managed to snatch the second place from “Sabah,” “Sumgayit,” and “Neftchi” in a tough competition, earning a spot in the Europa League. In the away match against “Sheriff,” Rashad Sadygov’s team had only one shot on target but managed to score from it and held onto a minimal advantage.

Sheriff

After a less than stellar previous season where they lost out in the title race to “Petrocub,” Sheriff started the new season with a defeat in the Europa League qualification. In the home match against “Zira,” Yuriy Vernydub’s team was considered a clear favorite but ended up losing 0-1, significantly complicating their situation.

Prediction

"Sheriff" lost the first match to "Zira," but they were certainly not inferior in terms of gameplay; their opponent managed just one shot on target. Today, the "yellow-blacks" will surely aim to play more aggressively in attack, and based on their experience and class, they are fully capable of at least equalizing the current handicap.

We believe the hosts have no chance. Our prediction is a victory for "Sheriff," offered at odds of 2.05.
