Preview

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. At home, they have taken three victories and one draw from four matches, conceding only two goals while scoring eight.

Politehnica UTM sit four places back on 11 points with a mixed record of three wins, two draws, and three defeats. While they boast an impressive 6-0 victory over CSF Bălți in their last outing, their away form has been volatile (two wins, two defeats), conceding an average of 2.0 goals per game on the road without keeping a single away clean sheet.

Head-to-head history heavily favours Sheriff Tiraspol, who have won three of the four recorded clashes between the sides, with the fourth ending in a 0-0 draw earlier in July 2026. Given Sheriff's defensive solidity on home soil and undefeated domestic run, the hosts enter this contest as clear favourites.
