Football Livescore | Match Prediction & Tips
--------------------------------
After a poor start with a heavy loss to Norway, Italy looks to recover by beating Moldova and avoid missing the World Cup for the third time in a row.
Team Analysis:
Italy struggled in their opening World Cup qualifier, losing 3-0 to Norway despite dominating possession and showing little offensive threat. With a nine-point gap behind Norway and tough competition from Israel for playoff spots, Italy faces a difficult path to the tournament. Coach Luciano Spalletti is set to leave after this must-win game against Moldova, who have a poor record against Italy but may try to exploit the Azzurri's current struggles and pressure.
Player Situation:
Italy's coach Spalletti plans to keep a 3-5-2 setup but will make lineup changes, bringing in younger players after several key withdrawals. Defender positions remain uncertain, while Donnarumma stays as goalkeeper. Moldova will miss suspended winger Cojocaru, with young Perciun likely to start, supported by experienced midfielder Ionita and top scorer Nicolaescu leading the attack.
Result Prediction:
Despite their struggles, Italy are expected to comfortably beat defensively weak Moldova and secure their first points.
Predicted Result: Italy 2-0 Moldova.
