On Sunday, October 15, Poland and Moldova will face off at the iconic Stadion Narodowy in Warszawa, with anticipation high amongst players and fans alike for the European Uefa Championship Qualification league game. To up the stakes, Moldova are currently leading the European Championship record with their thrilling 3-2 win in June, where I. Nicolăescu scored an impressive brace. So, on a partly cloudy evening at 49 degrees Fahrenheit, settle in and join us at the Stadion Narodowy from 18:45 (UTC) for what promises to be a riveting encounter!
Poland have experienced a challenging run of late, recording a win, draw and three defeats in their last five outings. This has resulted in four consecutive matches without a victory as they stand fourth in the league standings with six points from their five matches. With just one goal in their last five outings, the home side's goal scoring form needs to improve significantly. Unfortunately, they will be without W. Szczęsny due to injury. Fortunately, the home side have fared better in competitive clashes, having won one game, drawn one and lost one while averaging one goal per game while conceding an equal amount.
Moldova will be heading in to their upcoming match looking to turn their recent poor run around. Despite the challenging form of just one goal in their last five matches, the away side will come into the match with a strong, healthy squad. Regaining their form from earlier in the year, Moldova have had a win, two draws and a loss against similarly ranked opponents this year and have an average scoreline of 0.5 goals scored and 0.75 conceded. There will be a heightened sense of confidence after their 3 - 2 victory over their opponents in their last encounter when top goal scorer I. Nicolăescu scored twice.
Recent encounters between Poland and Moldova have yielded an impressive average total of 5.0 goals across the last 1 matches. However, in the 7 matches since the two teams began meeting, Poland have achieved an excellent record of 5 wins and 1 draw, while Moldova have triumphed just once.
As Moldova stands at 8 points in the Uefa European Championship Qualification table, a spot ahead of Albania, they have the opportunity to solidify their position as top contenders in the competition. This incentive will surely provide the team with an inspirational boost, spurring them forward to strive for additional objectives.
