Italy vs Moldova Prediction & Betting Tips (9 June)

Absent from the last two editions of the World Cup, Italy finally wishes to put an end to this abnormality by validating its qualification for the World Cup next year as quickly as possible. The task will not be so simple in a group where Norway is in particular, which it will face on Friday when it entered these qualifiers. In March, the Nazionale played a 1/4 final of the League of Nations against Germany after taking 2nd place from its pool behind France but before Belgium and Israel. Beaten at home in the first leg 1-2, the Transalpins failed to overthrow the situation on the return 3-3.

Moldova, for his part, began his qualifying campaign for the next World Cup with very limited ambitions. This nation is undoubtedly one of the weakest in the old continent, despite its 1st place obtained in its League D Pool in the League of Nations before Malta and Andorra last fall. Quickly put in difficulty in these qualifiers, Moldova drank the entrance cup against Norway 0-5 before losing at the end of a match hung against Estonia 2-3 in March. 

For this gathering, the Nazional must deal with the defections of Vicario (Tottenham), Calafiori (Arsenal), Buongiorno (Napoli) and Locatelli (Juventus) in particular. The striker Scamacca is also absent and he is supplemented, as in club, by the excellent Rejoint which finished top scorer in Serie A with 25 achievements. His dolphin in this classification Moise Kean (Fiorentina), Daniel Maldini (Atalanta), the champions of Italy Raspadori and Di Lorenzo (Napoli) all answered the call of their coach in the same way as the Bastoni, Dimarco, Barella and Frattes. However, this is not the case of Acerbi who decided to slam the door of the selection. Just crowned European champion with PSG, Donnaruma should take place in Italian cages.

Moldovan, the workforce is much more anonymous. Indeed, most of the elements present evolve in the low local championship or in fairly anonymous clubs in Eastern Europe and minor championship. Among the names to be remembered, we can cite those of defender Reabciuk (Spartak Moscow, 55 Sél), of the Ionita midfielder (Triestina in Serie C, 75 Sél, 5 goals) or the Postolachi striker (CFR Cluj). With his 17 goals scored in 51 capes, striker Ian Nicolaescu is by far the best offensive element of this selection.
