[Football- Champions League Qualifications] 1.8/ 19:00 IF Elfsborg- Sheriff Tiraspol

Simon Hedlund's 86th-minute goal in the first leg against Sheriff last time out gave Elfsborg an edge. With home advantage, they will aim to secure qualification.

Elfsborg have four wins in their last five matches, despite a recent home loss to Djurgarden in the Allsvenskan, Elfsborg performed well and may use a similar lineup for this match. Sheriff’s poor away form further benefits Elfsborg here in this matchup.

Sheriff's away record in European competitions has been poor, with just one win in their last nine road matches, which came after extra time against Zira FK earlier this season. Sheriff are also at a disadvantage as their domestic league season has not yet started, making them less match fit compared to Elfsborg, who are midway through theirs.

IF Elfsborg has covered the Over 1.5 goals line in 5 of their last 6 home games, winning 5 of them.

Sheriff Tiraspol is winless in 4 of their last 6 away games, winning only 2 and failing to score in 3 of them.

More of a gut feeling pick here, with Elfsborg's strong home record in recent Europa League games and their solid league performances, they should come out as winners here. My guess would be 2-0/3-0 in favor of Elfsborg.
