Match preview

League leaders Sheriff Tiraspol host fifth-placed Politehnica UTM at home in the Super Liga. Sheriff remain unbeaten domestically this season with five wins and three draws from eight league fixtures, holding top spot with 18 points.

Politehnica UTM sit four places back on 11 points with a mixed record of three wins, two draws, and three defeats.
