Moldova vs Malta – UEFA Nations League D Preview
Date: Saturday, September 7, 2024
Time: 5:00 PM CEST
Competition: UEFA Nations League D
Venue: Stadionul Zimbru, Chișinău, Moldova
Head-to-Head Records
The head-to-head between Moldova and Malta has been somewhat evenly contested, but Moldova have the slight edge. In their eight past meetings, Moldova has won four times; Malta has managed just a solitary win, while three matches have ended all square. Their last meeting back in March 2016 was goalless. Their competitive games have been particularly tight, with their last two UEFA European Championship qualifiers finishing 1-1 and 3-2 in favor of Moldova.
Recent Form
Moldova head into this encounter in decent form, having won two of their last three matches, drawing one and managing to lose only once. They narrowly missed out on promotion in the previous Nations League campaign and will be eager to make amends this time around.
While Malta are without a win in six of their last eight matches, drawing the other two. Their recent form in this competition has not been impressive at all, with just four wins and a draw in their last seven competitive outings.
Key Stats
- Moldova have averaged 1.5 goals per game in their last 10 competitive matches, conceding an average of 1.1.
- Malta have netted just 0.4 goals per game in their last 10 competitive outings, as well as conceding 2.2 on average.
- Moldova have won 4, drawn 2 and lost 4 of their last 10 competitive matches.
- Malta have won 1, drawn 2 and lost 7 of their last 10 competitive matches.

Prediction
Moldova are the clear favorites heading into this match, and I expect them to secure a comfortable victory. Their strong performance in the Euro 2024 qualifiers has shown that they are a team on the rise, and they should have too much quality for a struggling Malta side.
My prediction: Moldova 2-0 Malta
