As a weak team in the European zone, Moldova's strength has steadily improved in recent years, but the team has not played too well in the World Qualifiers and European Qualifiers. In last year's UEFA Nations League match, Moldova trailed Latvia by a win-loss disadvantage and missed out on promotion. In the first round of the European qualifiers, Moldova drew at home with the Faroe Islands, with Nicolescu scoring the equaliser penalty in the final minute. In terms of the squad, there are 12 players in the 23-man squad who play in the local league, and some of them play in the Romanian League and Cypriot League.
Of course, there are also the absolute main players in the Greek giants and the Super League, respectively Rejabchuk of Olympiacos, who has also played in the Europa League and Champions League this season and is the absolute workhorse of the team's wing. Nicolescu, who plays for the Jerusalem Beta, has also been out well this season, contributing 14 goals and 5 assists in 20 league games, and he has already scored eight goals for Moldova. It is worth mentioning that the soul of the Moldovan team is also the defender Igor Almas, who announced his retirement from the national team, and he is the second most played player in the history of the Moldovan team. Almas also started all seven UEFA Nations League games last year, scoring six goals in 83 appearances for Moldova and captaining the team all year round. After Almas's retirement, the team called up twenty-one-year-old Stefan and twenty-four-year-old Babogro to the national team, both of whom were entering the national team for the first time!
It is worth noting that the match will be played at the Zimbru Stadium in Chisinau, the capital of Moldova, and it is worth noting that it will be a rain fight! Chisinau has been rainy recently, and according to the weather forecast, it will start raining in Chisinau about two hours before the match, and the rain will continue during the match. Given the impact of the rain on the game, there may not be many goals in this match.
On the injury side, Moldova captain and their top star, Jonica, was not included in the squad for this tournament, with the midfielder suffering a ligament injury in February and is believed to be out for 40 days. Although Yonica has resumed individual training, it is still difficult to play, so he refused to be called up to the national team and chose to stay at the club. Moldova's midfield strength has been greatly reduced.
The Czech men's football team, under the leadership of the old coach Hilhavi, has gradually risen in combat effectiveness in recent years, and the team has performed well in the last European Championship to reach the quarter-finals, while the World Preliminary Round stopped at the play-off stage, which is a little regrettable. In this European preliminary round, the Czech Republic is in the same group as Poland, the Faroe Islands, Moldova and Albania, and the signing is good. In the first round, against a strong Poland, the Czech Republic came on with big wins, with goals from Ladislav, Kvenkara and Kucherta. In the last round of the win over Poland, Czech teenager Chivanchara pushed in front of the goal in the opening third minute to help his team extend the scoreline.
This is Chivanchara's first appearance for the Czech senior team, and scoring a goal in the first game will greatly encourage Chivanchara! This match also allowed the Czech Republic to perfectly sweep away the previous four consecutive defeats, and the morale of the Czech players was greatly improved! In terms of squad, Czech coach Hilhavi hinted in a pre-match interview that he did not want to make any changes to the team's starting line-up. "Everyone in our squad is healthy, we have no reason to make any changes to the main squad, don't expect us to rotate," Hill Harvey said. "The Czech Republic is expected to continue to play with the strongest squad in this match.
In terms of injury, the Czech Republic continue to lack their ace striker Higg in the squad this time, and the striker who plays for Bayer Leverkusen has been plagued by injuries this season! In the absence of Hick, with the exception of his club teammate Hrozek, none of the other selected strikers were from the top five leagues, and the Czech Republic's attacking firepower was greatly affected?
All in all, Moldova has a European fish belly, and the team's limited hard power makes it difficult to win; In recent years, the quality of talent in the Czech Republic is limited, but the technique and tactics are relatively mature, and the playing style is tough and resilient. The first match was ruthless, having kept a clean sheet against Moldova on the previous two occasions and expect to win the same way.
