Stats

Norway have won 4 of their last 5 matches.
Norway’s Erling Haaland has scored 4 goals in his last 2 matches.

HTH

Norway have a 4-0 advantage against Moldova with 1 draw in 5 matches.

They last met in January 2014, a friendly match being won by Norway 1-0.

Moldova Form

Moldova had a good run in the UEFA Nations League D last season, securing promotion with three victories and one defeat in Group 2, ending ahead of Malta and Andorra.

Their only loss was registered in the third round at Malta 1-0 in mid-October, but secured 1st place by defeating Andorra 1-0 three days later, Virgiliu Postolachi finding the net deep in stoppage time.

Moldova wrapped up the previous year with a 1-1 draw against Gibraltar in an international friendly clash, Victor Mudrac breaking the deadlock in the 40th minute, but they conceded in the second half.

Norway Form

Norway had an amazing run in the UEFA Nations League B last season, collecting 13 points in six games (four wins, one loss and one draw) to win Group 3 and earn promotion, scoring 2.50 goals per match.

After earning back to back home victories against Austria 2-1 and Slovenia 3-0, they suffered their first and only loss in mid-October to Austria 5-1 in Wien.

The Lions returned to winning ways in their November games, crushing Slovenia 4-1 in Ljubljana and Kazakhstan 5-0 in Oslo, Man City’s Erling Haaland scoring four goals total in these encounters.

Team News

Serafim Cojocari is the only name on Moldova’s injury list, while Mihail Platica and Dmitri Mandricenco were not called up this time. Artur Ionita has the most appearances for the national team on this roster (75).

Erling Haaland is expected to lead Norway’s offense against Moldova, scoring 38 goals in his 39 appearances so far. Morten Thorsby, Antonio Nusa, Kristian Thorstvedt, Jorgen Strand Larsen and Hugo Vetlesen are injured, while Mohamed Elyonoussi and Oscar Bobb were not called up this time.

Predicted Starting Lineups

Moldova: Celeadnic, Craciun, Revenco, Baboglo, Mudrac, Rata, Platica, Caimacov, Motpan, Postolachi, Nicolaescu

Norway: Selvik, Pedersen, Ajer, Ostigard, Ryerson, Berg, Berge, Odegaard, Hauge, Sorloth, Haaland

Verdict

Moldova v Norway

Norway looked very strong in the UEFA Nations League where they earned promotion to the highest division. I will back them to beat underdog Moldova and keep their net intact on Saturday. Erling Haaland’s is also tipped to score.
