Norway confidently leads the group, demonstrating a powerful attack and reliable defense. In four qualifying matches, the team scored 13 goals, conceding only two, and has already crushed Moldova away with a score of 5:0. Home walls will add confidence and motivation to the Norwegians to increase the gap.
Moldova is the outsider of the group, having not scored a single point and having a goal difference of -12. The team regularly concedes a lot: 0:5 from Norway, 0:4 from Israel, 0:2 from Italy. Their away performances are especially vulnerable.
Given the huge difference in class, Norway's motivation to consolidate the leadership and the history of the recent defeat, a confident victory for the hosts with a difference of three or more goals is expected.
