Sheriff Tiraspol vs Inter Milan Prediction
Sheriff Tiraspol have already exceeded expectations in their Champions League campaign so far and will be excused for any shortcomings in their next games. However, the Moldovan outfit will be looking to make a point in the tournament by advancing to the knockout stages.
Inter Milan have failed to advance from the group stages in their last three Champions League campaigns and will be desperate to end that trend. With the visitors in good form ahead of the game on Wednesday, they should be able to secure a decisive win.
Prediction: Sheriff Tiraspol 1-3 Inter Milan
