Sheriff vs Victoria Plzen Match UCL Qualifiers Fixture Preview
The Round 3 of UCL qualifiers fixture between Sheriff and Victoria Plzen will also be the first encounter between the two teams. That sets the stage for one of the most grueling UCL qualifiers matches to watch at the start of August. The hosts participated in both round 1 and 2 of the qualifier matches, games that they won two and drew the other two. On the other hand, Victoria Plzen joined the competition in Round 2 and won all the round of games in that stage to qualify for the third round.
The hosts haven’t been very clinical in the competition.
Notably, Sheriff has scored only two goals in four UCL qualifier matches, a record that hope to improve in as the competition enters crucial stages. Home support will be important for Sheriff and so is their strong defence that has kept four clean sheets form four qualifier games so far.
On the flip-side, Victoria Plzen won 2-1 in the first leg of Round 2 and bagged a massive 5-nil victory in the second leg at home. They look to continue the good scoring run in this fixture. However, the visitors should not expect an easy game, especially in the final third given the impressive defensive record that Sheriff has ahead of this important game.
Here is how these teams are likely to lineup for the duel:
Sheriff predicted lineup-Abalora, Guedes, Kiki, Radeljic, Kpozo, Lushkja, Kyabou, Badolo, Pernambuco, Tejan and Akambi.
Victoria Plzen predicted lineup–Stanek, Reznik, Hedja, Pernica, Havel, Bucha, Kalvach, Kopic, Sykora, Mosquera and Chory.
