Poland vs Moldova prediction, H2H and probable lineups - June 6, 2025
The friendly match between the national teams of Poland and Moldova will take place on Friday evening at the Silesian Stadium in Chorzów. I suggest betting on goals in this encounter, as the odds look promising for such a wager.
Match preview
Under the guidance of Michał Probierz, the Polish national team can’t boast a dazzling style, but they consistently pick up points. In the absence of Robert Lewandowski, who is recovering from injury, Poland look lackluster up front and rely on pragmatic football. Their wins over Lithuania and Malta in the 2026 World Cup qualifiers were more workmanlike than impressive, and didn’t erase questions about the team’s attacking efficiency.
Despite being favorites in this friendly, Poland are unlikely to throw caution to the wind—right now, they lack the creative spark up front. The hosts will look to control the game but without taking risks, especially keeping in mind the previous shock in Chișinău. Fans in Chorzów should brace themselves for a calm, possibly one-sided, but not spectacular clash.
Moldova’s national team has made significant progress in recent years—their victory over Poland in the Euro 2024 qualifiers is proof enough. However, the start of their 2026 World Cup qualifying campaign was disastrous: a 0-5 thrashing by Norway and a frustrating 2-3 loss to Estonia set them back. Still, there’s fighting spirit in this squad, and the Moldovans are far from pushovers.
On the road, it’s hard to expect heroics from Moldova, especially against a motivated Poland, but they’ll surely defend in an organized manner and look for their chances on set pieces or rare counterattacks. The main thing is not to repeat the mistakes made against Norway and to maintain their shape, especially in the first 30 minutes when Poland may try to wear them down.
Probable lineups
- Poland: Łukasz Skorupski – Jakub Kiwior, Jan Bednarek, Kamil Piątkowski, Matty Cash – Jakub Moder, Przemysław Frankowski, Sebastian Szymański, Jakub Piotrowski – Karol Świderski, Krzysztof Piątek
- Moldova: Dmitri Chelyadnik – Oleg Reabciuk, Vladislav Baboglo, Sergiu Plătică, Victor Mudrac, Artur Crăciun – Vadim Rață, Artur Ioniță, Mihail Caimacov, Nikita Moțpan – Vitalie Damașcan.
Match facts and head-to-head
- In the last five meetings, Poland have two wins while Moldova have one
- The "Both teams to score" bet has landed in three out of five matches
- The "Over 2.5 goals" bet has paid off in one of the last five games
Prediction
Given both teams’ defensive issues and limited attacking options—especially with Lewandowski missing for Poland—this match is unlikely to turn into a goal fest. Poland should be out for revenge after the humiliation in Chișinău, where they lost 2-3 in the Euro qualifiers, but they are unlikely to do it in style. The best bet for this match is "Total under 3.0 goals" at odds of 1.85.
