Sheriff vs Niza will play the first leg of round of 16 of the Conference League next Thursday, March 9. Sheriff will be administrative locals, but will not play at its stadium, as UEFA has not yet lifted the veto on Transnistria region. That may be a point against the Moldovan team, but that’s yet to be confirmed.
Sheriff resumed its activities last February, with friendly matches and the qualifying round of the Conference League, so they are almost cold at this stage. Niza, on the other hand, is doing well in Ligue 1, and is gradually managing to climb up a few positions.

Betting on FC Sheriff
Sheriff had been complicated in the round of 16, losing the first leg against Partizan by 0-1. However, it recovered and won its away game by 1-3 to reach this stage. The team has two consecutive wins in all competitions, after beating Dacia Buiucani in the Cup of Moldova.
Although it has had little activity in 2023, the positive results are coming in, which can boost the team’s confidence. Sheriff does not play its home matches at its stadium. Perhaps that causes the poor home performance in international competitions, since in the Europa League group stage, the team won only one of three matches and scored only one goal.
Possible Lineup (4-3-3): Maksym Koval; Armel Zohouri, Gabi Kiki, Stjepan Radeljic, Patrick Kpozo; Cedric Badolo, Moussa Kyabou, Mouhamed Diop; Iyayi Believe Atiemwen, Abdoul Tapsoba, Rasheed Ibrahim Akanbi.
Betting on OGC Niza
Niza started 2023 with a couple of defeats in Ligue 1, and the Coupe de France. However, the team has recovered to such an extent that now it holds a nine-game unbeaten streak in all competitions. The team qualified as first place in Group D of the Conference League, with a record of two wins, three draws and only one loss. After several months of rest, Niza is back in action in the international tournament, and it will be looking to take advantage of this first leg.
In the group stage, the team has not lost any of the away matches, recording one win and two draws. In fact, Niza currently has three consecutive away wins and a total of four unbeaten games, with only one own goal in that period.
Possible Lineup (5-3-2): Kasper Schmeichel; Jordan Lotomba, Youssouf Ndayishimiye, Jean-Clair Todibo, Dante, Ayoub. Amraoui; Pablo Rosario, Hicham Boudaoui, Khéphren Thuram; Gaëtan Laborde, Terem Moffi.
JefeBet Prediction
Niza has all the chances to win in this clash due to its good performance. In addition to the positive nine-game unbeaten streak, Niza has scored six unbeaten shutouts in that time, which means its defense is coming strong. Against a lower level opponent, the team should have no problems to win and keep a clean sheet.
Prediction: Nize wins by 0-2
