Italy

WWLLDL

Italy will be hoping to bounce back here following a 3-0 WC Qualifiers - Europe loss in their previous game against Norway.

In that match, Italy had 62% possession and 6 shots at goal with 1 on target. Norway had 8 attempts at goal with 4 of them on target. Alexander Sørloth (14'), Antonio Nusa (34') and Erling Haaland (42') scored for Norway.

It’s been all too rare in recent times where Italy have kept a clean sheet. The facts show that Italy have failed to prevent opponents from scoring in 5 of their previous 6 matches, letting in 12 goals along the way.

Moldova

WDDLLL 📉

After being beaten in their last game against Poland in International Friendlies action, Moldova and their fans will hope to get a better result this time.

Matty Cash (30') and Bartosz Slisz (88') scored for Poland.

The stats tell the story, and Moldova have been scored against in 5 of their last 6 games, seeing their opponents hit 11 goals in all. In defence, Moldova could really do with shoring things up. Regardless, we will just have to wait and see whether such a trend will persist in this game.

ℹ️ Team News: Italy

It’s our opinion that Azzurri will probably line up in a 3-5-1-1 system in the match, beginning the first half with Gianluigi Donnarumma, Giovanni Di Lorenzo, Alessandro Bastoni, Luca Ranieri, Andrea Cambiaso, Davide Frattesi, Samuele Ricci, Sandro Tonali, Federico Dimarco, Giacomo Raspadori and Mateo Retegui.

ℹ️ Team News: Moldova

There’s a good chance that Moldova will likely make use of a 3-4-3 lineup, giving starts to Cristian Avram, Vladyslav Baboglo, Victor Mudrac, Daniel Dumbravanu, Sergiu Platica, Artur Ionita, Stefan Bodisteanu, Oleg Reabciuk, Mihail Caimacov, Ion Nicolaescu and Virgiliu Postolachi.

✨ Prediction

It’s looking like Moldova shouldn’t be fancied to make much of an impression against a Italy side who possess the qualities to completely outclass their opponents in this match if all goes as we expect it to.

We’re therefore predicting a very easy time of it with a 4-0 margin with possibly more for Italy after 90 minutes.
