Malta vs Moldova prediction & H2H – Oсtober 13, 2024
Malta will face Moldova in the fourth round of the UEFA Nations League. This match will take place on Sunday, October 13, kicking off at 18:00 CET. Dailysports experts have prepared a prediction for this game.
Malta
The Maltese team started this Nations League campaign with a match against Moldova. By halftime, Malta had conceded twice and failed to create any chances in response, ultimately losing 0-2. A few days later, Malta played an away game against Andorra, and a lone goal scored at the end of the first half secured a 1-0 victory for the Maltese.
Currently, Malta has three points and holds second place in the table, as Andorra has yet to earn any points after two rounds. Notably, this win over Andorra ended Malta’s nine-match winless streak.
Moldova
Moldova enters this match as the favorite, both in the game and in the group. The team will look to continue their strong start in this UEFA Nations League campaign. In the first match, Moldova convincingly defeated Malta 2-0 at home. That game took place in September, and just a few days ago, Moldova hosted Andorra. The match was challenging, but the home side managed another 2-0 victory.
Overall, Moldova has lost only once in their last seven matches. However, they need to improve their away form, as they have won just four of their last 20 away games. In the Nations League, Moldova currently sits atop the group with six points.

H2H
Moldova defeated Malta 2-0 in their most recent encounter. Overall, these teams have faced each other five times. Moldova has won twice, two matches ended in draws, and Malta's only victory came back in 2002.
Prediction
Moldova has been performing quite well recently, with three consecutive wins, two of them in the Nations League, and they currently lead the group. They aim to secure a victory here and guarantee promotion to a higher division. I expect Moldova to score at least one goal. My bet is on Moldova’s individual total over 0.5 goals, with odds of 1.46.
