France vs Moldova Prediction & Betting tips
At the Stade de France in Saint-Denis, France hopes to secure its ticket for next year’s European Championship on Thursday evening. With a victory over low-flying Moldova, the men of national coach Didier Deschamps can already book their hotel!
France:
France can hardly miss the European Championship qualification. With a win over Moldova, Les Bleus will definitely receive their European Championship ticket anyway, but even with a draw or even a defeat, with a lead of four points on number three Iceland, there is still no dirt in the air.
Yet the reigning world champion is still not at its top level, because with recent results such as 3-0 win against Andorra, 0-1 win against Iceland and a 1-1 draw against Turkey, the French star ensemble could not really convince the last international matches. National coach Didier Deschamps will therefore be delighted with the return of Kylian Mbappe, who had to let the last two international matches pass due to injuries but is now completely fit again. In the point of the attack he probably opts for Olivier Giroud. The striker is on a dead end at Chelsea, but still enjoys full confidence in France. Key players such as Hugo Lloris, Blaise Matuidi and Anthony Martial are in the rag basket, although of course there is still enough quality left over to set up a strong team.
Moldova:
As expected, Moldova was unable to cope with countries such as Iceland, Turkey and France, and has been eliminated for some time with only three points out of eight European Championship qualifiers. The only time the Eastern Europeans stepped out of this field as the European Championship qualifying series was five months ago, after an economical 1-0 win over the void Andorra.
For Moldova, there is nothing more at stake on Thursday evenings than the sporting honor. National coach Engin Firat therefore took the opportunity with seven debutants to get fresh blood from the selection. Star player is midfielder Artur Ionita, who earns his living at the Italian Cagliari. Goalkeeper Alexei Koselev and attacker Vitalie Damascan (both Fortuna Sittard) provide a Dutch touch to the blue shirts, which by the way still have to do without captain Alexandru Epureanu.
