Italy
WWLLDL
Italy will be looking to improve on their last outing here following a 3-0 WC Qualifiers - Europe losing effort in their last game against Norway.
In that game, Italy had 62% possession and 6 shots on goal with 1 on target. Norway got 8 shots on goal with 4 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 a loss in their previous game against Poland in International Friendlies action, Moldova and their travelling fans will hope for a better result here.
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.

Team News: Italy
We think that Azzurri look set to use a 3-5-1-1 system for this game, handing starts to Gianluigi Donnarumma, Giovanni Di Lorenzo, Luca Ranieri, Alessandro Bastoni, Andrea Cambiaso, Davide Frattesi, Samuele Ricci, Sandro Tonali, Destiny Udogie, Giacomo Raspadori and Mateo Retegui.
ℹ️
Team News: Moldova
There’s a good chance that Moldova seem most likely to elect for a 3-2-4-1 lineup with a starting lineup of Cristian Avram, Veaceslav Posmac, Vladyslav Baboglo, Victor Mudrac, Sergiu Platica, Oleg Reabciuk, Mihail Caimacov, Nichita Motpan, Vadim Rata, Artur Ionita and Ion Nicolaescu.

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.
