There's no exiting this stadium without a winner tonight as it's the second leg of the Europa League Play-offs meeting between Sheriff and Pyunik. Game on!
These teams have little in common geographically as Pyunik have to travel 1900 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.
It's no vacation for neither Sheriff nor Pyunik as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.
