To build a prediction for the Moldova - Norway match, scheduled for 22 March 2025, several key factors could influence the outcome. These sides last met on 7 September 2007 at Moldova's ground, where the away side proved stronger.
In this match, I will try betting on TO 2.5. At first, I wanted to take the away team's IT2O 2.5, but since the odds are the same, I see no point in doing so. The away team has an advantage in class and experience, and besides, practically the entire team is at the peak of its form.
There is no point relying on previous games; besides, this is the guests' first chance to qualify for the World Cup, so Holland should immediately start with a thrashing, as they did when they beat Kazakhstan, while the hosts lost to Malta—teams of different levels.
Norway are very strong with this lineup and are playing well. They are definitely the favorites and should win today without any problems. Norway usually score at least 2 goals. I will take Holland with a handicap -1.5 here
