Moldova v Wales Betting Preview – World Cup 2018 Qualifiers 5th September
The Welsh put themselves in contention for a place at the World Cup next summer with a narrow home win over Austria on the weekend. That leaves them two points back of the second placed Ireland heading into Tuesday’s fixture, but the Irish have a tough game on their hands against group leaders Serbia. Will Wales be able to take advantage and heap some pressure on by landing and away win in Moldova? That would leave things pretty interesting in this tight group with two to play.

Moldova v Wales Betting Tips
Wales took a 1-0 home win over Austria on the weekend, and that has boosted their chances of making the top two in the group. Wales have posted a W2 D5 record in the group so far so they are unbeaten and resilient. This should be one of the easier games of course that they have to finish out the campaign with as Moldova have just the two points from their seven games played in the group so far. Earlier in the group, the Welsh posted a 4-0 win over Moldova with Gareth Bale getting a brace in the game. In the bet365 First Goalscorer market, Bale is a price of 15/8, with Sam Vokes at 15/4. The Dragons rode their luck against Austria on Saturday, as they were second best for large portions of the game, particularly in the first half and offered very little creativity. But they got what they needed and forge forwards.
In the bet365 correct score market, a Wales 2-0 option returns a price of 9/2. Wales have never played out in Moldova before so this is something new for them to deal with. But they aren’t facing any real quality and indeed, Moldova are on a 17 match winless streak in competitive action at the moment and against the top four in the group, they have lost all five played so far. So Wales should get out of this with a win and it will have been a tremendously successful international break. There’s nothing wrong with a Wales to win to nil bet at bet365 for a price of 10/11 as Moldova have scored just the four goals in qualification so far and three of those were in their two draws with Georgia. Moldova can’t get to Russia 2018 of course from here and may be disinterested. A Wales/Wales half time/full time bet is a price of even money going into the game.

Moldova v Wales Predictions
Wales to win: This is a nice game for Wales after the stresses and tests that they faced against Austria. The Welsh can go out and play with a bit of confidence and win this to nil. A good 2-0 option on the away side looks decent value.
