Pressure is clearly the enemy
Will Albania remain unbeaten against Moldova?
Albania has fulfilled the duty when they won 3-0 in Andorra. Armando Sadiku, Bekim Balaj and Amir Abrashi scored the goals for the guests in the Pyrenees state. To kick off the European Championship qualifiers, they had to beat Turkey 2-0 in front of their own audience. The Albanians are ranked 3rd in the group after 2 matchdays, 3 points behind the top duo that qualify for the finals. The team of Edoardo Reja is clear odds favorite against Moldova. With tip 1 you can still take quite a betting odds. If the Albanians want to be back in the European Championship finals after 2016, they will have to complete this compulsory task. According to our forecasts, they should also succeed. 3 years ago in France ended the tournament for Albania after the group stage. Against Switzerland and France was lost, but in the last round game they still defeated the Romanians. At the World Cup in Russia, the Western Balkan nation was absent. From the Nations League C you had to rank behind Scotland and Israel and thus descended into the D-League. Out of 4 games only 1 win, a 1-0 home win over Israel. The remaining 3 games lost the team without being able to score a goal. In 6 of the recent 7 games did not succeed at all. Under Reja's predecessor Pannucci - also an Italian - 9 out of 15 games were lost (4 wins and 2 draws). On average, the team had to plug in 1.67 goals in each game during his term. Reja is the new national coach of the Albanians, previously cared for the Italians clubs in his homeland such as Lazio, Napoli and Atalanta. Twice the 73-year-old rose with his clubs in Serie A, once in the Serie B. In 8 of the 12 recent Albanian 12 games fell less than 2.5 goals. Against Moldova they celebrated 2 wins in 3 duels and drew.
Surprised Moldova in Albania again?
Moldova is a clear outsider in this group constellation. According to our forecasts, the Eastern Europeans have no chance of winning the European Championship. Accordingly, they also started in this competition. Against World Champion France, it put in front of their own audience a 1: 4. Vladimir Ambros scored the consolation goal just before the end. In Turkey, the team of coach Alexandru Spiridon went down 0: 4. So you adorned from the beginning of the table end and it would be a great sensation if the Moldovans came near a qualification. With an away win in Albania you could increase your bets sevenfold. Even a Double Chance bet X / 2 brings you a quota of over 2.50. But the Albanians should be warned about the Moldovans. The away team took home a goalless draw at their last visit. Also, the Moldovan clubs have often celebrated successes against Albanian representatives for European Cup. 7 out of 12 matches went to the East Europeans. Of course you can not but the club results one to one on the national team level. Spiridon oscillates since early 2018, the trainer scepter in the East Europeans. In the 12 games since then you had to give half (6) lost.
In the 12 games since then you had to give half (6) lost. In the Nations League D you celebrated at least 2 victories, but this against the football dwarf San Marino. Against Belarus (2x) and against Luxembourg they drew. The only defeat was against Luxembourg at the beginning of this competition (0: 4). Against opponents at eye level Moldova could thus keep up very well, conceded in 4 games only 5 goals. But Albania is in a slightly different weight class, so we predict a home win in this encounter.
Bet Tip and Forecast
In a home win can be quite acceptable odds take. We also predict a victory for the Albanians. You can speculate well on a swift leadership of the hosts and tap for a half-time victory. Doubling your bet with a Zero Victory. We do not see any value below 2.5 goals, so we do not recommend a top / bottom bet. Even with "both teams meet - no" is too little to get. Our Bet Tip Recommendation: Tip 1
The increase of the European Championship to 24 teams was and is controversial. One of the positive effects is that even smaller nations have the chance to qualify for a major event. In 2016, two countries used this directly and celebrated their premiere at an European Championship. Iceland and Albania have succeeded and fans and players have of course come to the taste of this experience.
A repetition seems to be only possible for a maximum of one of the two countries, as they were together in a quality group with World Champion France solved. Surprisingly, after three matchdays it is not the Equipe Tricolore who are in the top spot but Turkey. With currently only three points on the account, especially Albania in the game against Moldova, where we want to venture a forecast, under great pressure. A threesome is absolutely compulsory to keep up to a reasonable extent in the race for the top two places.
Currently, the Albanians occupy fourth place, tied with the opponent on Tuesday. Moldova was able to get their first three in a duel with Andorra this weekend. With 1: 0 the team of coach Spiridon won and had to survive almost a full half in the process. With the success in the back and new self-confidence, they now want to set the next exclamation point.
However, the bookmakers seem to think this unlikely, because between Albania and Moldova, the odds for a tip to the winner are very clearly distributed in favor of the home team. The landmark game will kick off at 20:45 on Tuesday evening, parallel to the game between Iceland and Turkey, which is also important.
Albania - Statistics & Current Form
In Albania, there is no need for a long time. After the first important game against Turkey was lost in qualifying, the then national coach Christian Panucci was dismissed directly. His compatriot Edoardo Reja became the successor. After his involvement with Atalanta Bergamo Reja has taken his first post as a national coach. But under his direction, things are not going so well.
Although he could celebrate his debut a 3-0 win against football dwarf Andorra, but the important duel against Iceland on Saturday was lost 0-1. As so often lately, the lack of Torgefahr was the main problem of the Albanians. From their ten shots on goal, they could not beat profit. Striker Armando Sadiku, who is under contract to FC Lugano in Switzerland, was able to revive the team after his substitution.
Despite the offensive acting 4-3-3 formation, the guests rarely found their way through the defense of the Northern Europeans. By the 0: 1 a meaningful series was extended further. In eleven of the last twelve games involving Albania, both teams have not scored. A football spectacle is not expected on Tuesday. Overall, the squad of coach Reja is simply lacking in quality.
With Amir Abrashi of the SC Freiburg or Taulant Xhaka of the FC Basel, there is already one or the other well-known name, but overall, most of the players from the squad are based in smaller leagues. The past results are in any case an indication that between Albania and Moldova, a prognosis should rather go in the direction that few hits will ensure the decision.
Expected formation of Albania:
Berisha - Hysaj, Dermaku, Ismajli, Veseli - Baasha, Xhaka, Abrashi - Cikalleshi, Lenjani, Balaj

Moldova - Statistics & Current Form
Since the dissolution of the Soviet Union, the Moldovan national team have never been able to participate in a European Championship or World Cup finals. Again, this will most likely not succeed. In addition to Andorra, the nation is one of the two big outsiders in the Group H. The 1-0 victory against the country from the Pyrenees was therefore very important to give the red lantern and to jump to fifth place.
However, Moldova is the clear underdog against all other opponents - also on Tuesday in Albania. Since the beginning of 2017, Moldova has only been able to win in international matches, be it tests or qualifiers, against San Marino. Thus, the success on Saturday was the end of a long dry spell. A small downside was the yellow and red map of Artur Ionica.
The midfielder Cagliari Calcio was sent to showers shortly after the break and proved a disservice to his team, who nevertheless saved the lead over time. On Tuesday Ionica in the central office must now be replaced. Who runs up for him, is open. Well-known players are looking for in the squad anyway in vain.
Next to Ionica is attacker Vitalie Damascan, who also earns his money in Serie A at Torino, the only player in a known league. With this individual class it would be a big surprise if the guests on Tuesday could take something countable home with them. Between Albania and Moldova, the odds are not so randomly distributed and despite the victory on Saturday against Andorra the Moldovans go as clear outsiders in the game.
Expected formation of Moldova:
Koselev - Reabciuk, Armas, Efros, Jardan - Carp, Cociuc, Antoniuc, Suvorov, Ginsari - Damascan
Last matches of Moldova:
08.06.2019 - Moldova vs. Moldova Andorra 1: 0 (European Championship Qualification)

Albania vs. Moldova Moldova Direct Comparison
The two nations have only completed two competitive games against each other. For the current game, however, these are very irrelevant and they do not help to come between Albania and Moldova to a good forecast. The reason is pretty simple. The two games took place over 20 years ago in 1995. Albania won both the first leg at home (3: 0) and the second leg away (3: 2), thus leading 2-0 in the head to head record.
These two threes, however, were the only ones in the European Championship qualifiers, which is why Moldova was even ahead of them in the final table. The third clash took place in 2012 as part of a friendly match. The game ended 0-0 scoreless.
Albania Albania vs Moldova Moldova Tip & Forecast - 11.06.2019
All in all, between Albania and Moldova, this prognosis seems very likely, not much for a spectacle. As the bookies also know the results of the recent past and the offensive problems of the two teams, they have adapted their quotas; no value can be found in over / under bets. A pure home win of the Albanians is also not necessarily profitable, which is why we fall back on the Asian betting market.
The handicap is the selection "Albania -1". The hosts are qualitatively superior. Even though the performances were not particularly spectacular at the end of the day, the nation nevertheless qualified for the last European championship and is thus qualitatively a good piece above the opponent Moldova. If the hosts in group H want to have a say about the first two places, a threesome on Tuesday is absolutely mandatory.
Key Facts - Albania Vs. Moldova tip
Moldova won another international match at the weekend after two years (1-0 against Andorra)
After a dismissal missing with Ionica but one of her two stars locked
Albania is doomed to win and wants to turn its higher individual class into points
The offensive problems, which once again prevented a point win against Iceland, are the reason why with the handicap -1 at the game Albania Vs. Moldova is hinted at a more cautious tip. A home win means in any case that we can not lose our stake. It may even burst after a lead then even the knot and the Heimelf can get a win with two or more goals advantage.
The guests were able to gain some self-confidence by beating Andorra 1-0. On the other hand, they have lost one of their Serie A stars in this game with Ionica. Over 90 minutes, the underdog will not be able to withstand the attacking efforts of the Albanians. Although it will not take another two years for Moldova to win an international match, on Tuesday it will probably be all right. With six units, the betting odds for this nice tip will be hinted at in the match between Albania and Moldova. We are sure that the home side will go into the summer break with a threesome and stay within striking distance of the group H contenders.
