Andorra vs Moldova prediction: EUROPE: UEFA Nations League – League D betting tips on match 2024-11-15 17:00.
[p]Andorra will contest both remaining games in UEFA Nations League (UNL) Group D2 this campaign, so despite being six points adrift of the two teams above them – Malta and upcoming opponents Moldova – Koldo Ćlvarezās men still have a chance to earn what would be a sensational first-ever promotion in the competition.Ā [/p]
[p]In order to do that though, the Tricolours must win both of their upcoming matches, which would be history in itself as theyāve never previously won back-to-back UNL games. However, the fact that Andorraās only two victories in the competition came in their last six such encounters should serve as a bit of a morale boost (D1, L3) despite the fact two of those defeats came against Moldova themselves.Ā [/p]
[p]Moldova will be favourites to take the three points, an outcome which would guarantee promotion after two successive campaigns in League D. Having won six of the nine previous H2Hs (D2, L1), they should be confident of securing that promotion-sealing victory here, which would be their sixth win in their last seven UNL games (L1).Ā [/p]
[p]Since Serghei CleČcenco was appointed as head coach in December 2021, Moldova havenāt conceded more than one goal in any of their five away trips in this competition, winning three of those games inside 90 minutes (D1, L1). Donāt expect much early entertainment here though, as none of their last six UNL matches, irrespective of venue, have featured a goal in the first 25 minutes.Ā [/p]
[p]Players to watch: Captain Marc Pujol scored Andorraās second goal in their 2-0 friendly victory over San Marino last month, but the 42-year-old will be wary of getting in the refereeās bad books, having been yellow-carded on each of his last four caps. Artur IoniČÄ got the opener in the reverse UNL fixture in October, helping his side to clean-sheet wins in each of his last four scoring appearances for club and country combined.Ā [/p]
[p]Hot stat: Only one team on the day has netted in each of Andorraās last seven internationals.Ā [/p]
