Moldova vs Italy prediction
UEFA EURO 2024 qualification saw Moldova impress, even defeating Poland, but they have since majorly regressed. The Moldovans come into this one on the back of a 1-1 draw with Estonia in Tallinn, to mean that they are now winless in nine matches since beating Andorra by a goal to nil 12 months ago.
They face an Italy side that, coached by Gennaro Gattuso, have put themselves back in contention for qualification but they need to beat Italy by four or more goals in their next game. It could be three or more should they majorly, majorly improve their goal difference and this is the chance for that.
The Azzurri have been quite entertaining to watch under Gattuso and they need to rack up a score and so a comfortable victory for the Italians is to be expected in Moldova.
