Kazakhstan: a chance to end their winless run
John van ’t Schip’s side opened the tournament with a 1-1 draw against the Faroe Islands before losing 2-1 to Slovakia. As a result, Kazakhstan have won just one of their last eight competitive matches.

Moldova: 17 matches without a single win
Lilian Popescu’s side began their Nations League campaign with a 2-0 defeat to Slovakia before drawing 1-1 with the Faroe Islands. Moldova have not won a match since November 2024.
Their winless run has now reached 17 matches, during which the team have suffered 12 defeats and recorded five draws. Moldova have scored in six of their last seven away matches, but have lost five of them.
Match facts
- Kazakhstan have won three of their last four home matches.
- Moldova are winless in their last 17 matches.
- Moldova have lost seven and drawn three of their last ten away matches.
Home form could prove decisive: prediction for Kazakhstan — Moldova
Kazakhstan have yet to show consistent form, but home matches remain their biggest advantage. On their own turf, the team are far more reliable defensively and more often manage to get the result they need.
Moldova could score again, given their attacking output in recent away matches, but their lengthy winless run and poor results on the road make the task extremely difficult.
