At Zimbru Stadium, Moldova and Albania will battle it out in this coming Friday match, with the former having no chance at qualifying. The latter, however, is still looking to qualify and need a point.

Winning 2-0 and 4-0 in the last two most matches against Moldova, will have Albania looking forward to their upcoming away trip.

Moldova take on Albania as number 157 in the FIFA world ranking, whereas the visitors sit as number 59 in the world.

Moldova have done surprisingly well and are still left with a chance of going to Germany next year. A draw could still keep them alive, but they probably need a win to stay in the race.

Visitors Albania will claim a ticket for the Euro's with a win, while a draw could prove enough, should Poland also beat the Czech Republic.

Tips

Under 2.5

Moldova, as well as Albania, have been keeping things tight in recent matches with goals few and far between. This suggests a close encounter shy on goals is on the cards this coming Friday.

Albania to win
