Preview
Sheriff head into this crucial 2nd leg match after a goalless draw in the first leg of the clash on Wednesday.
The Moldova side will begin their upcoming season next week against Zimbru and would like to confirm their UCL status before that.
Sheriff’s best moment last season came in the group stage after beating Real Madrid at the Bernabeu and would be hopeful of enjoying another UCL campaign.
They narrowly beat Zeinjski Mostar 1-0 over 2 legs in the 1st round of the qualifiers to book their place for this round.
On the other hand, Maribor beat Gorica to notch up their first win of the Slovenian Prva League this season after an opening day defeat.
Baturina, Zugelj and Brnic scored for the hosts while Velikonja and Kronaveter struck for Gorica.
After this win, they find themselves in 7th place on the league table. However, they wouldn’t mind since its early in the season.
Maribor will be visitors for the 2nd leg and need to win outright in order to qualify for the next round.

Prediction: Sheriff 2-1 Maribor
We expect this to be an impressive exchange as both sides are in good form.
However, Sheriff is unbeaten in 11 matches and with home support and confidence soaring, we can see them nicking this one by the odd goal.
Maribor can only win outright to qualify but the away environment can keep them on the backfoot.
