Our Predictions
Israel’s attacking side has shown glimpses of strength, and Moldova's recent drought in scoring suggests they’ll struggle to find the net. Odds at 1.42 support this, making it a solid pick for a motivated Israel side.
Both teams have struggled offensively lately, especially Moldova. With a high chance of a tight game and low scoring, Under 2.5 looks like the smart wager here given the recent trend.
Moldova’s lack of attacking punch and Israel’s potential defensive solidity make it likely that at least one side won’t score. Odds at 1.62 give a good edge.
Welcome to Extratips, folks! Today, we've got a fascinating clash in the UEFA World Cup Qualifiers 2026 — Moldova takes on Israel at 18:45. The match is hosted in a world where both teams are desperately searching for form. Moldova, in quite the dry spell, hasn't scored in their last four matches, while Israel, despite a few goalless draws, remains technically the dark horse here. The odds are interesting: bet365 shows Moldova as 7.00 underdogs, a draw at 4.33, and Israel at a very tempting 1.42. The way things look on paper, Israel's the favorite, but Moldova could surprise if they tighten up defensively. Currently, Moldova finds itself near the bottom of the qualifier table with little room for error, while Israel is hovering in the middle, eager to climb the ranks.
Looking at their recent head-to-heads, they've traded zeroes — four straight scoreless meetings, which hints at tight defenses or a lack of attacking spark. Moldova's last five home matches saw mostly draws and losses, with no wins, while Israel's last five away games include a couple of draws and a loss. Top strengths for Moldova are their stubborn defense and organization, but their lack of firepower is a worry. Israel's tough midfield and quick counter-attacks are highlights, though their inconsistency on the road is a concern.
Key factors? Moldova’s attack remains stagnant, and Israel's squad could be missing some firepower, but they remain the more dynamic side. A storyline to watch? Will Israel finally break through this stubborn Moldovan defense? Or could Moldova use their home advantage to snatch a cheeky draw?
Predictions? Expect a tight game with limited goal-scoring chances. Here are some likely scenarios:
- Israel win to nil — betting on their attacking edge, odds at 1.42, with a predicted 0-1 result.
- Under 2.5 goals — considering their recent form, a low-scoring affair seems probable, with odds at 1.95.
- Both teams to score: No — Moldova’s attack has been toothless lately, making this the safer pick, at 1.62.
- Draw 0-0 — given recent meetings and current form, a goalless draw could be on the cards.
- Away team to win & BTTS: No — betting on Israel to take all three points without conceding, a cautious but plausible outcome.
Let's see if Israel finally cracks the Moldovan code or if the hosts stand firm. Either way, expect a tactical battle with few goals and some tight defensive work out there. Now, buckle up and enjoy what could be a nervy but intriguing match!
