Many wondered how Maribor would cope on the attacking front after all-time leading goalscorer Marcos Tavares called time on his career at the end of last season, but the Slovenian champions would have accepted a goalless draw in the first leg before the opening whistle blew.
Unlike several teams involved in qualifying, Radovan Karanovic’s men have not been granted time off from their domestic exploits amid their quest to progress in Europe, but they claimed their first win of the 2021-22 league season at the second attempt on Saturday. A 3-2 success over ND Gorica helped Maribor to consign their opening 3-0 loss to Radomlje to history, and as is the case with Sheriff, they also drew the opening leg of their first-round Champions League tie with Shakhtyor Soligorsk 0-0 before prevailing 2-0 in the second.

As numerous sides have learned during the early stages of Champions League qualifying, previous successes in the tournaments count for little unless the task at hand can be completed on the pitch, and Sheriff Tiraspol found that out the hard way.
The Moldovan champions could only post a 1-0 aggregate success against Bosnia-Herzegovina champions Zrinjski in round one, during which they laboured to a goalless draw away from home in the first leg, and lightning struck twice against Maribor. Stjepan Tomas’s side will once again have to turn the tie around at home to stand a chance of making it through to the group stages for the second year in a row, but it would be some fall from grace if Real Madrid’s conquerors bowed out in the second round of qualifying.

Maribor may have marched to a confidence-boosting success at the weekend, but Karanovic has no natural replacement for injured captain Milec, and his side were exposed defensively on Saturday.
In contrast, Sheriff Tiraspol have far fewer injury concerns to work around and will hope to take advantage of Maribor’s fatigue on home territory, so we can only back the Moldovan champions to advance and condemn Maribor to the Europa League. Meanwhile, their Slovenian counterparts will aim to stun their revered opponents to set up a third-round tie with either HJK Helsinki or Viktoria Plzen.
Maribor 0-2 Sheriff, as predicted by us.
