Israel vs Moldova prediction: EUROPE: World Cup – Qualification betting tips on match 2025-11-15 19:45.
[p]Israel and Moldova meet in the final round of their FIFA World Cup qualification (WCQ) group with their fates sealed, as both sides are already eliminated.[/p]
[p]Match News and Current Form[/p]
[p]Israelâs fate has been confirmed for some time now, with a 3-0 defeat to Italy in mid-October meaning their last World Cup finals appearance will remain in 1970. Ongoing unrest in their country has perhaps contributed towards that somewhat, with the conflict meaning theyâve been forced to play all of their âhomeâ games on neutral ground. The last 11 of those were played on Hungarian soil, and they return to Debrecen here where they have a split record across their last four outings (W2, L2). Three successive defeats in WCQ action, conceding a whopping 13 goals therein, certainly hints at the balance being tipped in favour of the loss column here, but a clean sheet in a friendly clash with Lithuania on Thursday (0-0) should at least have boosted confidence on that front. [/p]
[p]Moldova have never qualified for a World Cup finals, a record that remains intact after yet another disappointing WCQ campaign in which they could yet fail to win a game for the third cycle in a row. Their chances of avoiding that feat seem slim given their last game comes on the road, where theyâve lost four of the five internationals theyâve played in 2025 (D1), including an 11-1 defeat against Norway in September which stands as the heaviest loss in their history! They havenât conceded more than twice in any of their three games since then, including in Thursdayâs 2-0 defeat against Italy, but thatâs about the only positive omen on offer for a nation whoâve lost eight of their nine internationals this calendar year. [/p]

[p]Manor Solomon is the star name on Israelâs list of absentees, while Moldovaâs Nichita MoÈpan will also miss this game. [/p]

[p]Betting Analysis[/p]
[p]With nothing at stake here, this could prove to be a bit of a non-event, but with the Israelis looking stronger, backing Israel to win and under 3.5 goals could prove fruitful. [/p]
