Command Analysis

Moldova

Current form
Moldova has never qualified for major international tournaments in its entire history. At the same time, in the last selection for the 2024 European Championship, the national team had a chance to reach the final round until the last round. In the League of Nations, Sergey Kleshchenko's team confidently took first place in Division D, ahead of Malta and Andorra. The team's last match was in November last year, when they lost the world 1-1 with Gibraltar in a friendly sparring match. It should be noted that Moldova failed the previous selection for the World Cup, took the last place in the group, and could not even beat the modest Faroe Islands national team.
Disqualifications and injuries
The Moldovan national team has no significant losses in the squad on the eve of the upcoming game.
Interesting betting trends
- Moldova's national team has won four of the last five matches.

Norway

Current form
The last time Norway competed in the World Cup finals was back in 1998. At the same time, even at the European championship, the team has not played in the final for more than 20 years. It should be noted that in the previous qualifying tournament for the World Cup, the Norwegians were close to getting out of the group, but unsuccessfully played the final rounds and took third place. In the League of Nations, the wards of Stoll Solbakken finished first in the B League and went on to promotion. In the group, they were ahead of Austria, Slovenia and Kazakhstan, scoring 13 points in six rounds.

12.00Tip and bets
The Norwegians performed well in the League of Nations, and in the group they beat such difficult rivals as Austria and Slovenia. In many ways, it was possible to achieve success due to a powerful attacking line led by Holland. Undoubtedly, the Moldovan national team has also made a step forward recently, but in matches against strong European teams, one can see frequent failures. We believe that even away, the Norwegians will be able to secure a comfortable victory due to their advantage in attack.
Our betting tip is that Norway will win with an Asian handicap (-1.5) by a factor of 1.78
Bet on the total
When choosing a total bet, we start from the favorite, which is the guests. At least three goals are scored in five consecutive matches with the participation of the Norwegians, which we are waiting for today in Chisinau.
The second bet is a total of more than 2.5 goals with a coefficient of 1.79
Betting on corners
We also recommend that you pay attention to the fact that the Moldovan national team has not played more than two serves from the corner flag in six of the last eight qualifying matches for the World Cup. Accordingly, based on this trend, we recommend another option for a confident bet.
