Moldova Prediction – Can Lithuania grab first win?

Rather predictably, Moldova have been battling it out with fellow strugglers, Andorra, to avoid the wooden spoon in Group H as they sit joint bottom of the group with their counterparts, both having taken a win off each other in their respective home legs.

The narrow 1-0 home win over Andorra has been Moldova’s only win and indeed highlight in what has been another disappointing but predictably poor Euro 2020 campaign for the hosts who play host to Albania on Monday night.

Moldova’s campaign got off to a losing start as they suffered back-to-back defeats to France and Turkey in what was a baptism of fire in the early stages of this group as both of these opponents now occupy the top two positions in Group H and look almost certain to qualify for next year’s finals.

Back to Moldova though, and the hosts have collected just 1 win out of their last 8 home matches in European qualifiers, losing 7 of these, while they’ve also lost 3 of the previous 4 meetings against Monday night’s opponents, Albania.

Albania Prediction – Can Albania halt losing streak on road?

For the large part, Albania have performed exactly as predicted, losing to Turkey home and away along with a heavy loss away from home at France, but they did manage to upset the odds when they recorded a 4-2 home win against Iceland in their last home match at their Stadiumi Loro Boriçi recently.

Wins against Andorra (3-0 away) and a 2-0 home win against Moldova were expected, but as Albania now trail 2nd placed France by a margin of 9 points with just three matches of the group stages remaining, it looks virtually impossible for the visitors to now qualify for Euro 2020.

Albania have registered 4 wins out of their last 8 European qualifier matches overall, and will nevertheless be looking to grab all three points in Monday night’s clash away at Moldova and see how the other matches in the group play out in this round.

The visitors will also be desperate to halt a 3-match losing streak away from home in European qualifiers following recent defeats at Iceland 1-0, France 4-1 and Turkey 1-0.

 

Key-Facts – Moldova v Albania

  • Moldova have collected just 1 win out of their last 8 home matches in European qualifiers
  • Albania have registered 4 wins out of their last 8 European qualifier matches overall
  • Albania have won 3 of the previous 4 meetings against Moldova

 

Betting Tips Verdict

Moldova’s extent to winning looks like being exclusively against Andorra while Albania should grab all three points here given their dominance over their hosts in previous exchanges.
