A home win with goals at both ends
Despite their best efforts, Sheriff Tiraspol fell to Viktoria Plzen in the reverse fixture of this tie; barring that loss, they've played well in recent months, as that was their only loss in 17 games. Like Sheriff Tiraspol, Viktoria Plzen have had a good run of form lately; they've won four of their last five games, and are unbeaten in their last six games. We would like to point out that Viktoria Plzen won the reverse fixture on the road; they have the advantage of playing at home now, and we believe they'll win this match. However, considering Sheriff Tiraspol scored in 15 of their last 17 games, both teams should score too.
Both teams will score
Viktoria Plzen have scored and conceded a lot of goals recently; they've scored over two goals per game in their last five matches, whilst conceding in four of those games. Likewise, Sheriff Tiraspol found the back of the net in 15 of their last 17 games; conversely they have seen their defence breached four times in their last three games. Both teams scored in four of Viktoria Plzen's last five, and in all of Sheriff Tiraspol's last three games; with this in mind, both teams should get on the score sheet.

A finely balanced tie will be settled right here, right now

Last time out Viktoria Plzen showed great character to come from behind to hold a slender lead. Let's see how this one unfolds!
Viktoria Plzen have enjoyed some fine form in recent weeks; they have four wins in their last five games, and have no losses in their last six matches. Mical Bilek's men will welcome Sheriff Tiraspol to the Doosan Arena on Tuesday; they'll be eyeing their fifth win in six games.
