Friendly International
On March 30, 2026, a friendly match will be played between the national teams of Cyprus and Moldova. Both teams rarely delight their fans with victories and are certainly hoping to do so this time.
Cyprus vs Moldova: Team News and Expert Analysis
Cyprus is considered one of the weaker mid-level teams in European football. For them, simply defeating Lithuania twice in the Nations League two years ago was already a success. In qualification, they added victories over San Marino to draws against Romania, Bosnia, and, in a friendly, Bulgaria – but still lost half of their matches. Most recently, they managed to lose at home to Belarus.
Moldova, for their part, were in the lowest division of the Nations League in 2024, but did win their group, collecting nine points from four matches against Malta and Andorra. However, they then failed in the next qualification cycle, earning just one point in eight matches, only managing a draw with another outsider, Estonia. Starting the new calendar year, they lost 0-2 at home to Lithuania in Chisinau.
The islanders are not bad and even average 1.3 goals per game away from home, though they concede 1.8 in response. The visitors, by comparison, have only 0.6 goals scored and 3.3 conceded per match.
Previous Matches: Cyprus vs Moldova
