vs Prediction, probable lineups, recent form & season stats

Slovakia go into their opening Nations League fixture with three wins, two defeats and one draw in their last six international matches: the most recent is a 2-2 draw with Montenegro, before that a 2-1 win over Malta. Before that a 2-0 win over Romania, further back a 3-4 defeat to Kosovo, a heavy 0-6 defeat away at Germany and, opening the run, a 1-0 win over Northern Ireland. Moldova arrive with four defeats and two draws in their last six: the most recent is a 1-1 draw away at Armenia, before that a 2-2 home draw with Bulgaria. Before that a 2-3 defeat away at Cyprus, further back a 0-2 defeat to Lithuania, a 1-4 defeat away at Israel and, opening the run, a 0-2 defeat to Italy. There is no previous meeting between the two sides. The prediction may change in the hours before kick-off. Confirmed line-ups, late injuries, suspensions, rotation ahead of other fixtures and the state of the pitch and the weather can all alter the picture described above. In those cases the selection may be reviewed and updated within 12 to 24 hours of the match: this happens rarely, but when it does, the version published on this page is always the current one.
