England U-21 will travel east to the Zimbru Stadium in Chisinau to face Moldova U-21 in the 2027 UEFA European Under-21 Championship qualifiers on Friday evening. The Young Tricolours and the Young Lions are fourth and third in the Group D standings, respectively. Check out our match prediction below!
Moldova’s U-21 entered this competition as one of the underdogs to progress from Group D. Since their first qualifying campaign for the 1996 Euros, they have never reached the main draw, nor have they managed to win more than three matches in any of their last five qualifying campaigns.
In contrast, England came into qualifying as red-hot favourites to win this group. They are gunning a third straight Euros title in 2027 after retaining their crown in Bratislava in June by beating Germany in the final of the 2025 edition. The visitors have never lost to this opponent at the Under-21 level - let’s get into the key stats to consider in this match!

Moldova - England -21: Form Analysis
Moldova kicked off their 2027 UEFA European Under-21 Championship qualifiers on a positive note by beating Andorra 3-0 in their opening match of the competition back in June this year.
However, the Young Tricolours then suffered two painful defeats last month, squandering 1-0 leads to lose 2-1 to the Republic of Ireland before doing likewise in their 3-2 loss to Slovakia five days later.
The hosts’ victory over Andorra is the only one they have managed in their last nine home games across all competitions. Notably, though, the six goals they have scored is the joint second-most of any team in the competition so far.
England scored 41 goals in their 2025 Euros qualification campaign!
Indeed, after that incredible haul, the Young Lions went on to clinch the title, and they kicked off this qualification cycle with a comfortable 2-0 victory over Kazakhstan on the road last month.
With that victory, England have now won 50 of their last 60 U-21 Euro qualification matches since the 2015 edition, and they have only suffered two defeats in that time (D8).
Excluding the 2025 Euros tournament, the visitors have only lost one of their last seven away games (W3 D3 L1) since November 2023 and kept clean sheets in four matches during this period.

Moldova & England -21 Squad Analysis
Since making his debut for the Moldova U-21s last year, Vladislav Costin has scored four goals in six matches and has become one of the first names on Serghei Cebotari’s team sheet.
The midfielder has netted three times in this competition and has also recorded two goals and two assists in 10 matches for FC Balti since arriving from Sheriff-2 over the summer break.
Stefan Bitca and Kihai Lupan made up a three-man attack against Slovakia last month, but Cebotari may consider bringing Veaceslav Cozma back into the starting lineup for one of them this week to reinforce his midfield.
Josh King could make his England Under-21s debut this week!
The Fulham midfielder featured in the England U-19s squad during the last international break, but his impressive start to the season for the Cottagers has earned him a call-up to Lee Carsley’s side this month.
Norwich City’s Kellen Fisher was a late inclusion after Newcastle United full-back Lewis Hall pulled out through injury, and Man City’s Nico O’Reilly was bumped up to the senior squad.
While Jobe Bellingham’s start to life in Dortmund has not gone as he would have hoped, he was excellent for the Young Lions against Kazakhstan last month and could be one to watch this week.
Moldova - England -21 Key Points

Our Moldova vs England -21 Prediction
Following an impressive showing against Andorra, Moldova will be kicking themselves for losing back-to-back matches in this competition last month after taking the lead in both of those fixtures.
They now have to face the reigning European champions, who kicked off their qualification campaign with a comfortable victory over Kazakhstan and are massively fancied to win this match as well. The Tricolours have decent attacking threat, but we feel the Young Lions will outscore them in this match. Our Moldova U-21 vs England U-21 prediction is Half Time: England -21, Full Time: England -21
