Europa League
Pyunik – Sheriff. Prediction and announcement for the Europa League match
On Thursday, August 18, the first play-off match of the Europa League qualifiers will be held at the Vazgen Sargsyan Republic Stadium in Yerevan, Armenia, where local Pyunik will host the Moldovan Sheriff. The starting whistle will sound at 20:00 Kyiv time.
Pyunik
Following the results of last season, the Yerevan team became the champion of Armenia, winning a record 15th title of the best club in the country. Yeghishe Melikyan’s wards in the championship race were only one point ahead of Ağrı-Armenia. Pyunik did not play in European cups for the last 3 years and even managed to return to the Champions League 7 years later.
Ukrainian defender Anton Bratkov won the gold medals of the national championship together with Pyunik, who previously played in Lviv under the leadership of Melikyan. Also, the Armenian club was strengthened this summer by another Ukrainian, Sergey Vakulenko. The former defender of Karpaty has been playing for the aforementioned Ağrı-Armenia for the past two years.
Sheriff
The Moldovan champion achieved a historic feat, playing for the first time in the Champions League group stage history last season, especially by beating Real Madrid at the Santiago Bernabeu. This success was helped by Ukrainian specialist Yuriy Vernydub, who left the post of head coach after the start of the full-scale invasion of Russia to defend his homeland.
Tiraspol club started their European Cup journey from the first qualifying round of the Champions League, where they excluded Bosnian Zrinjski (0:0, 1:0) from the tournament. Slovenian “Maribor” (0:0, 1:0) was passed in the second qualifying round, but there was a relegation from Czech “Victoria Plzen” (1:2, 1:2) in the third elimination. Pernambuco, who has played in all of Lviv’s previous six European cup matches, is on loan for Sherif.
Prediction for confrontation
We believe that Sheriff will win this match. Our bet will be the P2 position on the Parimatch line with a coefficient of 2.49.
Estimated compositions
Pyunik: Buchnev – Gonzalez, Vakulenko, Baranov, Bratkov, Juninho, Sambrano, Harutyunyan, Mladenovic, Jahani, Radeski.
“Sheriff”: Abalora – Crozot, Radelich, Kiki, Guyedes, Badolo, Kiabu, Lushkya, Rashid, Tejan, Pernambuco.
