They will duel this Tuesday, August 2, at the Zimbru stadium, in Chişinău. The return duel, on Czech soil, was scheduled for August 9. The forecast is for the ball to start rolling at 17:00 UTC.

Sheriff Tiraspol

First team in Moldovan football history to win the right to play in the Champions League group stage in the previous season, Sheriff Tiraspol is trying to repeat the dose in the current one. In this journey, it has already surpassed two stages in the qualifiers. In the round of 16, they defeated Zrinjski, from Bosnia and Hezergovina. He began the battle by acting outside his domains. He held the goalless draw in a match that didn't even have a certain finish.

In the return game, he took the field command. They won by 1 to 0. For that, they counted on the own goal of Savic at 22 minutes of the initial stage. The script was repeated in the quarterfinals. Sheriff Tiraspol faced Maribor, from Slovenia, and was 0-0 in the confrontation on the opponent's soil, in which the hosts created only one opportunity to finish.

In the second match, the Moldovan team, at home, made it 1 to 0. Goal by Yansane in the 43rd minute of the second half. Until then, it had exclusive dedication to the continental tournament. That privilege ended on Saturday, July 30, when he made his debut in the 2022/2023 version of the now called Super Liga, the elite division of the Moldovan Championship. Acting as a visitor, he stayed in the tie, by 1 to 1, with Zimbru. He scored with Julien in the 18th minute of the second half. Two minutes later he took the change from Sidorenco.

Plzen

Plzen entered the battle for a spot in the 2022/2023 edition of Champions League a little later. Benefiting from the Czech Republic's top ranking in UEFA, the organization that organizes the competition, he was exempted from participating in the round of 16. Thus, he started to sweat only in the quarterfinals, when he had in his way the HJK, from Finland.

The battles against the Finns, however, felt like an extension of their pre-season, which featured seven friendlies (four wins, two draws and one defeat). In the away match, the Czech Republic club opened up the lead by scoring 2-1. In the return match, it completed the service by applying a 5-0 rout. On Saturday, July 30, he made his debut in the new edition of Fortuna Liga, the First Division of the Czech Championship.

Winner of the 2021/2022 edition of the tournament, he opened the defense of the title with a 2-2 draw, away from home, against Tepice. Result even celebrated under the circumstances. The hosts opened up a two-goal lead. Urbanec scored in the 23rd minute of the first half and two minutes of the final stage. Plzen's reaction began with Kliment, who was assisted by Kalvach, in the 13th minute, and was completed by Mosquera, who had Hejda as a waiter, in the 26th minute. In the end, in the 53rd minute, Urbanec still missed a penalty kick that could give Tepice the victory.
