Moldova vs Andorra Prediction & Betting Tips (10 October)

Moldova got their campaign off to a good start last month, dominating Malta 2-0. This success allows the Tricolores to take first place in their group made up of three selections: their last opponent and that of this Thursday. Moldova does not weigh very heavily in Europe and even less on an international scale. 149th in the FIFA rankings, it has never played in a major Euro or World Cup competition since its independence in the 1990s. In September, Moldova also beat San Marino 1-0 in a friendly. Opposite us is an even less posh selection: Andorra.

This team has been in League D of the Nations League since the creation of the competition in 2018. In six years in this table, the selection currently led by Koldo Alvarez has only won 2 matches out of 18. This was during the last campaign, in 2022. Andorra was defeated by Malta 0-1 at home at the opening of this campaign in September and remains in 19 matches without a win in all competitions, 4 draws, 15 defeats. She has not scored in her last 5 meetings. 

No player on the Moldovan squad is known to the general public but this squad can rely on several elements which are essential to it. Among them, left-back Reabciuk (50 caps) playing for Spartak Moscow (Russia), midfielder Ionita (73 caps, Lecco in Italian Serie C) but especially Nicolaescu (47 caps, 16 goals). The latter plays in the Netherlands, in Heerenveen, and contributed to the victory in September against Malta by scoring an achievement, his 16th in 47 appearances for the national team.  Moldova Andorra The Andorra squad is full of players playing in the weak national championship or in Spain, in the lower divisions. The only ones to stand out are goalkeeper Alvarez (Villarreal B, 25 caps) now the holder and striker Ricard Fernandez (2 goals in 44 appearances, Krka in Russia).

Captain Pujol, aged 42, is still present in the national team. With 5 goals, midfielder Vales is the selection's top scorer among all the players called up. A statistic that does not do credit to his teammates in attack.
