In a FIFA World Cup Qualifying - UEFA match held on June 9, 2025, Italy secured a 2-0 victory over Moldova at the MAPEI Stadium - Città del Tricolore in Reggio Emilia. The match saw Italy dominate possession with 65.4% compared to Moldova's 34.6%. Italy's Giacomo Raspadori opened the scoring in the 40th minute, followed by Andrea Cambiaso's goal in the 50th minute.
Italy unleashed a total of 28 shots, with 7 on target, while Moldova managed 18 shots, also with 7 on target, indicating both teams had relatively equal accuracy in their attempts. Both teams received one yellow card each, and Italy committed 8 fouls compared to Moldova's 12. The goalkeepers were kept busy, with Italy's keeper making 7 saves and Moldova's making 5. Italy lined up in a 3-5-1-1 formation, while Moldova opted for a defensive 5-3-2 setup.
The AI prediction correctly anticipated an Italy win. However, the AI did not expect a balanced game, and the statistics suggest Italy largely controlled the match, aligning with the pre-game analysis. Italy's form coming into this match was inconsistent, with recent losses in the UEFA Nations League against Norway (3-0) and Germany (2-1 and 3-3), interspersed with a win against Belgium (1-0). Moldova's form has been poor, suffering recent defeats to Poland (2-0), Estonia (3-2), and Norway (5-0), with their last win being against Andorra in November 2024.
This victory could boost Italy's confidence after a series of mixed results, while Moldova will need to address their defensive vulnerabilities after a string of heavy defeats. Analyzing previous head-to-head games, Italy thrashed Moldova 6-0 in their last encounter in 2020. The current result is less emphatic than the game in 2020, however, it still demonstrates Italy's dominance over Moldova. Italy will seek to build on this win and secure a stronger position in their World Cup qualifying group, while Moldova needs to improve their overall performance to remain competitive.
On June 9th, 2025, Italy will face Moldova in a FIFA World Cup Qualifying - UEFA match at MAPEI Stadium. According to AI predictions, Italy is heavily favored to win, with a 59.5% probability compared to Moldova's 17.8%. The AI's analysis considers Italy's overall strength, rated at 0.648, significantly higher than Moldova's 0.217. However, Italy's recent form has been inconsistent, with losses against Norway and Germany, alongside a draw with Germany, interspersed with a single win against Belgium. The team will rely on the creative midfield presence of Nicolo Barella and the sharp finishing of Federico Chiesa to secure the victory. Moldova, on the other hand, has struggled, losing most of their recent matches. The AI gives them a slight chance to upset Italy.
