Recent form

Moldova

Moldova's recent form has been a mixed bag, with their last six games producing two wins, two draws, and two losses. Their goal-scoring ability has been noteworthy, averaging 1.5 goals per game, but their defense has struggled, conceding an average of 1.83 goals per match. The team has been involved in high-scoring affairs, with 67% of their games featuring over 2.5 goals and an impressive total goals average of 3.33 per match. A standout performance came in their 4-0 victory over the Cayman Islands, showcasing their attacking potential. However, they've also suffered heavy defeats, most recently a 4-0 loss to Ukraine. Moldova's ability to keep clean sheets has been limited, managing only one in their last six games, while both teams have scored in half of their matches, indicating entertaining contests for spectators.

Malta

Malta's recent form has been challenging, with no wins in their last six matches. They've suffered four losses and managed two draws, showcasing their struggles on the international stage. The team's defensive vulnerabilities are evident, conceding a staggering 16 goals in six games, averaging 2.67 goals conceded per match. A particularly high-scoring game stands out in their 7-1 defeat against Czechia in a friendly match. Despite their difficulties, Malta has shown some resilience, securing two consecutive draws against Belarus and Slovenia in March 2024. Their goal-scoring record is modest, with only 4 goals in six games, but they've managed to keep one clean sheet. The team's matches have been evenly split between high and low-scoring affairs, with 50% of games seeing over 2.5 goals.
