Italy and Moldova are set to go head-to-head for a crucial Group I World Cup qualifier match on Thursday.
There's much on the line for Italy going into this matchup. Following a 3-0 loss to Norway in their opener, the Azzurri need to make up the three-point gap if they're to automatically qualify for the 2026 World Cup. Going up against a struggling Moldova squad could be the perfect opportunity to do so.
Moldova currently sits at the bottom of the group, having lost five games by an aggregate score of 25-3. Their only minor success came in the form of a 1-1 draw against Estonia last time out. Though Moldova's hopes of qualifying are over, they could work to keep their scoreline down against Italy.
