Moldova have failed to win a game in the last two World Cup qualification campaigns. They risk failing a third straight time with two matches remaining. Read on for our prediction of this Moldova v Italy match.
With one point from six matches, Moldova are sitting bottom of Group I. They haven't won any of their last nine matches, losing seven times.
Moldova even failed to beat Estonia last time out, only playing to a 1-1 draw. That happens to be the only time they avoided defeat in the last eight matches.
They’ve also scored in each of the last three matches now. At home they lost all their last three matches.
Meanwhile, Italy started their qualification campaign on a poor note but have lately been impressive. They are on five straight wins, the most recent being a 3-0 thrashing of Israel.
That marked Gennaro Gattuso’s side’s fourth straight game scoring three or more goals. The Italians will wrap up this campaign at home against leaders Norway and will be crossing fingers for Norway to falter this week.
A playoff spot is guaranteed, but the former world champions will want more. In 2018 and 2022 Italy missed the World Cup finals, a matter Gattuso will be looking to address.

Our Moldova vs Italy Prediction
We don’t expect Moldova to get their first win of the qualifiers here. The bottom-placed side in the group has never beaten Italy before and has been one of the most porous defensively in the qualifiers.
Moldova meet Italy at a point where the former world champions have gained momentum, and this will be a tough match for them. Italy are not just winning but are scoring a lot too. Our prediction for Moldova v Italy is for Italy to win & over 3.5 goals.
