Norway vs Moldova Prediction and Betting Tips | September 9th 2025

Norway and Moldova return to action in Group I of the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers when they lock horns at the Ullevaal Stadion on Tuesday. Both nations have endured a contrasting qualifying campaign, with Serghei Clescenco’s side losing each of their four to sit rock bottom in the group standings.

Norway maintained their strong run of results last Thursday when they picked up a 1-0 victory over Finland in their friendly clash at the Ullevaal Stadion.

Ståle Solbakken’s men turn their focus to the World Cup qualifiers, where they are one of just four sides with a 100% record, winning each of their four matches so far.

With 12 points from a possible 12, Norway currently lead the way at the top of the Group I standings, three points above second-placed Israel in the qualifying playoff spot.

In stark contrast, Moldova’s quest for a first-ever World Cup appearance has unravelled in expected fashion, with four defeats in their four matches leaving them rock bottom in Group I.

This has been due to their struggles in defense, where Clescenco’s side have conceded 14 goals so far while netting just twice at the opposite end of the pitch.

While Moldova will be looking to stop the rot, next up is the challenge of an opposing side, whom they have failed to get the better of in their previous six attempts since March 2005.
