Israel vs Moldova Preview & Tips – World Cup Qualifier

Israel vs Moldova Match Preview & Predictions

Intro

Israel and Moldova face off once more, and even though both teams are already eliminated from World Cup qualifying, it still feels like one of those games that could turn wild. Their previous meeting in Chisinau ended with Israel smashing a 4–0 victory, and with neither side under real pressure this time, we might get another open, free-flowing match.

Use of Statistics & Team Form

If there’s one thing these teams have been consistent with, it’s goals—lots of them.

  • Israel have seen 4+ goals in five of their seven qualifiers.

  • Moldova have matched that trend in four of their seven.

Both teams’ defenses have been shaky, and with nothing on the line anymore, they usually loosen up and go forward more than they should. Israel haven’t exactly been electric lately (their 0–0 draw with Lithuania was pretty flat), but even in off games they still create chances.

Expert Tipsters

Most tipsters are looking at one thing: goals. Israel normally bring more attacking threat and should boss the game again, but Moldova at home always find some random gear they don’t use anywhere else. With both teams mixing up their lineups, predicting the winner is tricky, but the over-goals market looks like gold.

Head-to-Head

The last time they met in Chisinau, Israel dominated from start to finish and cruised to a 4–0 win. The gap in quality was pretty clear, and unless Moldova suddenly reinvent themselves overnight, the matchup still leans heavily toward Israel.

Wide Betting Market Coverage

Because both sides are unpredictable and already knocked out, the best markets aren’t the match-winner ones. Instead:

  • Over 2.5 Goals

  • Over 3.5 Goals

  • Israel to Score 2+

  • BTTS (depending on lineups)

These are the safer angles than trying to guess the final score.

No Fixed Matches

As always on 100PercentSureWins, predictions are based on stats, form, and real analysis—never fixed matches. This game is unpredictable enough without shady stuff anyway.

Team News

Israel are missing a bunch of key guys:

  • Daniel Peretz – away due to wedding celebrations

  • Tai Baribo – unavailable because his wife is expecting

  • Manor Solomon & Muhammed Abu Fani – both injured

Israel still have firepower though. Oscar Gloukh and Dan Biton were part of the lineup against Lithuania, and they’re more than enough quality to test Moldova.

Moldova meanwhile had their goalkeeper to thank for not conceding more than two against Italy. Italy racked up 77% possession, nine shots on target, and 13 corners. Moldova mostly defended deep and prayed.

Prediction

Israel should still be the better side even with a mixed squad. Moldova at home might get one, but the matchup screams goals again.

Predicted Score: Israel 3–1 Moldova
(But the over-goals line is safer than the exact score.)

Players to Watch

  • Oscar Gloukh (Israel): Always finds pockets of space and creates chances.

  • Dan Biton (Israel): Can control the tempo if he gets going.

  • Ion Nicolaescu (Moldova): Moldova’s best shot at sneaking a goal.

Betting Tips

  • Over 2.5 Goals – safest pick

  • Over 3.5 Goals – strong value based on trends

  • Israel to Score 2+ – likely

  • BTTS – Yes (depends on Moldova’s lineup but decent value)

Wrap Up

It might not be the most meaningful game in the group, but it has all the ingredients for a fun, goal-heavy matchup. Israel should take control again, but the best betting angle is simply banking on another open game with plenty of scoring chances.
