World Champions France did not have the same luck in the UEFA Nations League, as they finished at the 2nd spot. They will now start their EURO Cup Qualifiers campaign on Thursday when they will be hosted by Moldova. Moldova are one of the weakest teams in Europe and should not be a problem here.

Moldova are coming off a bad run in the UEFA Nations League, where they finished 3rd in a group that also featured Belarus, Luxembourg and San Marino. They did lose just once (2-1-3) but their overall performance was not all that good, especially against equally weak teams. And to be fair, both their wins came against San Marino, who are one of the weakest teams in the world. Moldova have won just three of their last 22 competitive matches at home (3-14-3), all against San Marino.
France had a pretty disappointing run in the UEFA Nations League, considering their huge success in the World Cup during the summer. France finished at the 2nd spot of the group (2-1-1) that also featured Netherlands and Germany, and scored just four goals. However, they have been really great in their away matches lately, losing just once in their last 15 (11-1-3). Moreover, they kept clean sheets in eight of those matches.

France never really destroy their opponents in away matches, and Moldova’s last five home matches featured Under 2.5 Goals. France are the huge favorites here but might not cover the spread all that easily. I will take the Under 3.25 Goals on this one.
