Latest football match prediction: Israel vs Moldova
Israel's disappointing qualifying campaign will conclude this weekend, marking the end of their half-century wait for a World Cup ticket.
Following a run of three consecutive defeats – including two losses against Italy and a heavy 0-5 defeat away to Norway – Ran Ben Shimon's team dropped to third place in Group I before the final matchday.
Having scored eight goals during the September international break, they have since gone nearly 300 consecutive minutes without scoring, with their most recent match being a 0-0 draw against Lithuania on Thursday evening.
A familiar scene repeated itself: that friendly match took place in a nearly empty stadium, and Israel will conclude their disappointing qualifying campaign under similar circumstances.
Banned from playing at home, Israel were forced to "host" their opponent in Moldova – where they had previously won convincingly 4-0 when the two teams met a few weeks earlier.
This year's campaign has also been difficult for Moldova, with their loss to Israel in Chisinau coming just before the team's record-breaking 1-11 defeat against Norway.
Nevertheless, Moldova earned their first point in Group I last month with a 1-1 draw against Estonia, ending a seven-match losing streak.
However, they remain winless and continue to sit at the bottom of the table, after a valiant but futile fight against Italy on Thursday night. Coach Lilian Popescu's interim team held the Azzurri to a draw for over 80 minutes, but two consecutive headers meant they suffered another defeat.
Nevertheless, thanks to their performance in last year's UEFA Nations League, the country, currently ranked 156th in the world by FIFA, still has a slim chance of making it to the European play-offs.
