Sheriff Tiraspol :
The Moldovan record champion had to try to qualify for the group stage of a European Cup after his title. In the second round of the Champions League, Qarabag was too strong. After that, it was possible in the final round of the Europa League against Polish Legia Warsaw. On paper they were the underdog but after two matches they managed to move on to the group stage based on the goals achieved.
In the group phase, they are classified into a group of teams that could also play the Champions League and end up in a stronger football field. But after two matches, the Moldovans seem to be hard to fight opponents. Both Zlin and the strong Copenhagen bore their teeth on the defense. The result is a double 0-0 but still all chances of qualifying for the knockout phase.
In the competition itself, the weather is quite untouchable. Only two matches on thirteen games and 39 goals. That’s an average of three goals per game. Top shooter is the 18-year-old attacker Vitalie Damascan. Last season he already put his nose on the window with five goals in six games. This year he has a fixed base and thanks to all ten goals in twelve matches.

Lokomotiv Moscow may compete in the Europa League this year after winning the cup in Russia last season. It won the final at Sochi’s Olympic Stadium with 2-0 from Ural. The victory was more than deserved after a whole party had been the better team. This year they will continue on their own and will be in second place in the league. It lost this weekend but because leader Zenit also lost the gap, only two points.
The same story for the time being in Group F of the Europa League. Four points after two games, three goals and twice a clean sheet. Together with Copenhagen they are the favorite to win and for the time being they make it true. Against the biggest competitor, it became 0-0 on move and at home it easily beat Zlin with 3-0. The great man was Manuel Fernandes with a clever hatrick in fifteen minutes.
Especially in the attacking section there is a lot of talent and experience. No underestimated combination. In front, the coach can choose between Eder, Ari or Jefferson Farfan. Players who can submit some epistles. Behind the Fernandes already mentioned in combination with the old patron Igor Denisov and the young Aleksey Miranchuk. Last had to celebrate his first cap for Russia during the last interland period.
