Italy
WWLLDL
Italy won’t want a repeat of their last result here after a 3-0 WC Qualifiers - Europe defeat in their last game at the hands of Norway.
In that match, Italy had 62% possession and 6 shots on goal with 1 of them on target. On the other side, Norway had 8 shots on 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 📉
Following on from a loss in their previous game against Poland in International Friendlies action, Moldova and their travelling supporters will be hoping that they can get a better result in this one.
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
In all likelihood, Azzurri should use the 3-5-1-1 system with Gianluigi Donnarumma, Giovanni Di Lorenzo, Luca Ranieri, Alessandro Bastoni, Andrea Cambiaso, Davide Frattesi, Samuele Ricci, Sandro Tonali, Destiny Udogie, Giacomo Raspadori and Mateo Retegui.
🗞️
Team News: Moldova
From our viewpoint, Moldova seem likely to make use of a 3-2-4-1 lineup, starting the game with 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.
