Pre-match Sheriff Tiraspol vs Dinamo Zagreb: where are the two teams?
Sheriff Tiraspol
Sheriff finished first in the 2020-21 Moldovan National Division, collecting 99 points from 36 games, which saw them qualify for the first qualifying round of the Champions League. Yuriy Vernydub’s side have now played six times in this season’s competition, beating Teuta Durazzo 5-0 on aggregate before recording a 4-1 aggregate win against Alashkert in the second qualifying round.
The Sheriff drew 1-1 with Red Star Belgrade in the first leg of the third qualifying round before recording a 1-0 reverse match win to advance to the playoffs. The yellow-blacks have never made it to the Champions League group stage, but did participate in the 2017-18 Europa League group stage, finishing third in their group.
Dinamo Zagreb
Dinamo, meanwhile, qualified for the first qualifying round of the Champions League by winning the Croatian league last season, so they had to play six times in this season’s competition to reach the playoffs. The Croatian giants overtook Valur in the first qualifying round before beating Omonia in the second qualifying round, which saw them paired with Legia Warsaw.
The two sides drew 1-1 in the first leg on 4 August. But Dinamo recorded a 1-0 away win to win 2-1 on aggregate. Damir Krznar’s side reached last season’s Europa League quarter-finals before losing to future winners Villarreal. While playing in the group stage of the 2019-20 Champions League, finishing fourth in a group that included Atalanta BC, Manchester City and Shakhtar Donetsk.
Dinamo are by far the more experienced of these two teams when it comes to top-tier European action. And it would be a story if they couldn’t negotiate their way through the competition. The Blues, who beat HNK Gorica 1-0 on Friday, are already four games in their new home season. And a total of seven points from four games has left them in fifth place.
