Albania take on the visitors Moldova in the round 3 match of UEFA Euro qualifications. The match will be played on Saturday, June 17th at Air Albania Stadium (Tirana).
The group in which the Albanians found themselves is quite favorable for them to qualify for the final stages of the European tournament. The strongest teams in the group are Poland and the Czech Republic. As for the upcoming match, there is great confidence in the home team, primarily because Moldova is in terrible form. Indeed, the Albanian national team has experienced a noticeable decline recently, struggling even against average teams, let alone stronger opponents. However, in this match, they are facing a team that is clearly weak, and Albania can expect a long-awaited victory. One concerning aspect is that in their last 15 matches, Albania has scored more than one goal only once. It's a worrying statistic for the hosts of this match. Nevertheless, Albania will face an extremely modest team this time, and it is realistic for them to secure a victory based on their class.

The Moldovan national team has long been considered a statistical team in the continent, and they can only feel relatively confident against a very narrow circle of teams, such as Andorra, San Marino, Liechtenstein, and so on. When it comes to matches against average opponents, Moldova consistently loses without even scoring a consolation goal. The upcoming encounter will likely be no different, and Moldova will simply lose without scoring. In 2019, the teams crossed paths in the qualifiers, and the Balkans easily defeated Moldova in both matches with scores of 2-0 and 4-0. Currently, it is reasonable to expect Albania to win comfortably based on their superior class.
It's unlikely that the match will be very high-scoring since Albania is currently facing difficulties in their attacking game, and Moldova has long struggled with scoring goals. Therefore, I would suggest betting on Albania's victory with under 4.5 total goals. Something like a 2-0 result in favor of the hosts is highly likely, so I would choose this option.
Prediction for the match: Albania to win and Under 4.5 scored goals.
