Both these teams have been eliminated and can’t advance to the next round. This is literally a battle to avoid last place in the group. Tromso currently holds the last spot and the only way they can avoid it is to get a win over Sheriff Tiraspol.
Sheriff, Legia Warszawa and R. Standard de Liège have all gone nine games without a win in the UEFA Europa League. Sheriff has gotten three draws in this round of group play though. The mark ties the competition record held by three other teams – FC Salzburg, FC Steaua Bucureşti and PFC CSKA Sofia.
