Sheriff Tiraspol to play for a third-place finish
Moldovan side Sheriff Tiraspol made history by playing in the UCL group stage for the first time ever. Moreover, Sheriff went even further when they won their first two matches and led their group with six points. However, the Moldovan side lost their last two outings to Inter home and away and dropped to the third position.
Then again, the Yellow-Blacks were not going to stay on top for a long time. And their defeat was bound to happen sooner or later due to their players’ lack of experience under pressure.
As an illustration, Sheriff won both of their two matches despite being dominated by Shakhtar and Real. Hence, it was inevitable that coach Vernydub’s tactics were soon to be exposed.
Real Madrid to grab their ticket to the knock-out stage.
Despite a surprise setback in matchday two by losing at home to Sheriff, Real Madrid hit back with two wins in a row. Now the Blancos are leading the four-team pack and have a chance to avenge in Sheriff’s own courtyard. Seven goals past Shakhtar in the last two games shows that Ancelotti’s attack are back on track after scoring just twice in the first two games.
Certainly, Ancelotti learned from his team’s mistakes in that annoying match for Real on match day two. To explain, Real were rushing to score and got frustrated with the huge number of goal chances they missed. In fact, Real had a whopping 30 goal attempts, and the more they missed the worst they played. Hence and to avoid such a result again, Los Blancos must be patient and decisive in front of the goal at the same time.
Sheriff Tiraspol vs Real Madrid Prediction
Real Madrid always suffers against teams who play compact defense. Especially if Los Blancos don’t score early in the game. And that’s what happened in the first game as Real missed many chances and got punished by Sheriff.
However, in their two away games in the UCL Real were invincible scoring six goals and conceding none. Surely, Sheriff will play a similar tactic as they did in Madrid relying on counter-attacks and making it as hard as possible for their visitors to score.
As a result, we think we will see goals at both ends in this one since Sheriff and Real will play to win. And a fine odds of 1.81 at Vbet, we think it’s a bargain. As for our second prediction, we will back a combo bet of double chance and under 3.5 goals.
