Moldova - form analysis:
“The Bessarabians” are actually now at their definite peak. They took 10 points in qualifying, which is only 1 less than the Poles, with whom they won 4 points, last year! The team took the same number in the confrontation with Faroe Islands, and added the draws in the struggles with Czech Republic, Albania and, in the control match, with Austria.
Speaking about the spring, Cleşcenco’s team did not slow down. It managed a 1-1 draw with North Macedonia and defeated the exotic rival, Cayman Islands.
Cyprus – possible starting line-ups:
“The Islanders” were hopeless in the European qualification of the previous year. All 8 matches ended in defeat, and only friendly matches brightened up the state of things a little. There, Ketsbaia’s wards took a draw in Armenia and beat Lithuania.
There were chances to beat the Latvians in March, but they snatched a draw in the 85th minute of the friendly game. And the Serbs lost because of a quick goal scored by Milinković-Savić.

Free prediction for the match Moldova vs Cyprus
The hosts have looked convincing lately. Still, it’s difficult for them to play “number one,” so we’ll hedge our bet with “a 0 goal handicap” (odd: 1.64).
