One of two opening day fixtures in Europa League Group G is set to play out at the Malaya Sportivnaya Arena on Thursday, September 21st.
The matchup in question will see Sheriff act as hosts, in a daunting meeting with AS Roma.
Beginning with the former, Sheriff currently sit joint-top of the Moldovan top-flight, owing to a record of four wins from five.
Their most recent outing, this past weekend, saw the ‘Wasps’ gear up for Roma in style, too, in putting five past a hapless Floresti.
En route to booking their spot in the group stages of the Europa League, meanwhile, Roberto Bordin’s troops put seven past BATE Borisov, before battling their way beyond Faroese outfit Klaksvíkar Ítróttarfelag.
Safe to say, then, that Sheriff should head into this evening’s action with spirits high in the camp.

This comes with their opponents in waiting widely viewed as being amongst the favourites to go all the way in this season’s Europa League.
Roma, for their part, actually endured nothing short of a nightmare start to the season.
An opening day Serie A stalemate with minnows Salernitana was followed by back-to-back defeats at the hands of Verona, and AC Milan.
This past weekend, though, in their post-international break return to action, Jose Mourinho’s men showcased exactly what they are capable of when firing on all cylinders.
Welcoming Paulo Dybala, Renato Sanches, and Romelu Lukaku into the XI, the Giallorossi ran riot, to the tune of a 7-0 drubbing of Empoli.
With Mourinho something of a mastermind when it comes to continental competition, too, Roma should, in turn, go on to carve out a comfortable opening day victory in Tiraspol.
