Norway will look to kick off their World Cup qualifying campaign in style when they travel to Stadionul Zimbru to face Moldova on matchday one this Saturday.

Since gaining independence, Moldova have never managed to secure a place on football’s grandest stage, which takes place every four years, but with a relatively favorable qualification group this time, they will be eager to break that long-standing pattern and finally make history.

Sharing a similar fate to their opening-round rivals, Norway are still waiting for their first World Cup appearance in the 21st century, as they were last seen in France in 1998, but it seems that Haaland and company have a clear path toward their long-awaited breakthrough to the global stage.

Moldova vs Norway Betting Tips : AH2 (-1.5)

The desire of Manchester City’s talisman Haaland, Martin Odegaard, and all his teammates to join the elite ranks next year is monumental, so we can only hope they make a resounding statement on opening day. At first glance, Moldova's record might seem impressive with only one loss in their last nine home games, but a closer look reveals that this streak was achieved against teams that are nowhere near the level of Norway. The Scandinavian team has, among other things, started to shine in international tournaments, with their most recent achievement coming in November of last year when they secured direct promotion to the top tier of the UEFA Nations League by crushing Slovenia 4-1 at the Stozice Stadium, a place where no team had won for a long time. The Norwegian offensive line has proven relentless in recent appearances, with 13 goals slammed into the opponent's net across the last four matches, and we expect Haaland and co. will unleash their firepower in Saturday's contest and start the World Cup qualifiers with a loud and dominant manner.

Moldova team news

Since no players have sustained injuries since the last competitive fixture, coach Serghei Clescenco might opt to name the same squad that topped their group in League D and secured promotion to a higher tier of the UEFA Nations League.

Ion Nicolaescu, the team's star player, is expected to lead the attack alone, while the coach will likely set up a defensive 5-4-1 formation in hopes of frustrating the Norwegians.

Norway team news

Rising star and RB Leipzig winger Antonio Nusa will miss his country’s March World Cup qualifiers as he is currently recovering from a knee injury, though his return to the pitch is expected soon.

One thing that undoubtedly brings great encouragement is the return of national captain Martin Odegaard, who missed the final quartet of UEFA Nations League qualifiers due to an ankle injury.
