Moldavian side Sheriff Tiraspol will be welcoming Partizan in the first leg of the UEFA Europa Conference League 2022/23 playoffs matchup. Sheriff were third in their Europa League table so they were demoted to the Conference League. Partizan, on the other hand, finished second in their group and only lost to the group toppers, Nice. This game will be played behind closed doors and not in Sheriff’s hometown because of alleged safety concerns.
Sheriff have had a fairly positive result in their previous matches. In their last seven matches, they only lost twice. They are on top in the Moldavian league, with six points clear. They will now have to beat Partizan and hope that their Conference league campaign is more successful than their Europa League campaign. There are the favourites to win this match as they have completely dominated the Moldavian League in the past few years and have a squad at full strength.
Partizan have not been that good in their recent fixtures. They have only won two of their last seven games and are quite inconsistent at the moment. They are currently second in their league, eleven points behind the league leaders Crvena Zvezda. Partizan will be okay with any kind of result to take back home for the return leg in Belgrade, where their crazy home support could play a huge role.
Sheriff reportedly have only two fitness or suspension issues to deal with, as Abou Ouattara remains injured and Rasheed Akanbi is suspended. For Partizan, only Slobodan Urosevic is suspended
Sheriff possible line-up: Koval; Zohouri, Kiki, Garananga, Kpozo; Talal, Kyabou, Diop; Basit, Atiemwen, Badolo
Partizan possible line-up: Popovic; Zivkovic, Vujacic, Markovic, Filipovic; Fejsa, Natcho, Andrade, Diabate, Jovic; Gomes
