Moldova vs. Albania – Score prediction (14.10.2019)

Overview.

Moldova suffered a painful 1-0 defeat to Andorra on Friday night, a game in which they finished with ten men, meaning it’s now four straight defeats ‘to nil’. Each of their last five international wins have come versus either Andorra or San Marino, and excluding those games, they haven’t won any other game since May 2014, losing 32 and drawing 15 since. A lack of goals is hurting Moldova but they’ve been losing at half-time in five of their six Group H defeats as well. Winning two of their last five home internationals (Andorra/San Marino) may seem a positive, but their last home triumph prior to those came all the way back in Oct 2013.

Albania saw their top-two hopes end following a late 1-0 loss in Turkey. They’ve won four of their last eight internationals, but each victory was followed by a defeat. Looking further back, only three of their last 37 internationals have ended all square, while winning 13 and losing 21 highlights how inconsistent they’ve been. Eleven of Albania’s previous 15 international wins were ‘to nil’, proving how important a clean sheet is to their success. The first goal is also key as the last time they avoided defeat when conceding the opener was May 2016 (3-1 Qatar). Albania have lost five of their last six away fixtures, failing to score in four.
