On September 26, 2026, Slovakia and Moldova will meet in the first round of League C of the UEFA Nations League. It would be a major surprise if the hosts failed to deliver on home soil.

Slovakia vs Moldova: team news and expert analysis

Slovakia played at the last European Championship and even reached the knockout stage, but they failed to return to League B after losing to Slovenia in the playoffs. In World Cup qualifying, they managed to beat Germany, but ultimately surrendered top spot in the group to the favorite. Then, in March, they lost their very first playoff match, going down 4-3 at home to Kosovo. On the other hand, they recorded friendly wins over Romania and Malta, along with a 2-2 draw against Montenegro.

Moldova finished top of their Nations League group, although Malta and Andorra were their opponents there. In qualifying last year, they managed just one point against Estonia, losing all their other matches. In 2026, they suffered defeats to Lithuania and Cyprus, while drawing with Bulgaria and Armenia.

Calzona's men have both scored and conceded an average of 1.5 goals per game. Their next opponents score 0.9 goals per match, while conceding 3.2.

He is an analyst in the world of football who doesn't mind adding to his budget with a lucky bet, something he has been doing for the last 10 years. I don't believe in luck, but I believe that the motivation of the opponents and their kit plays a big role, and any sensation is explainable. I prefer to play cautiously, because it is better to win 5 out of 5 bets at odds of 1.6-1.7 than to lose 2 out of 3 bets at odds of 2.2.
