Match Time | 19:45 UK time |
Venue (City, Stadium) | Futbal Tatran Arena |
Slovakia and Moldova open their UEFA Nations League C Group 3 campaign at the Futbal Tatran Arena, and our Slovakia vs Moldova prediction leans firmly towards the hosts.
The home side kick off a new era, with Vladimír Weiss taking charge for his first competitive match of a second spell in the dugout and eyeing direct promotion to Division B.
Moldova arrive as clear outsiders, priced at the bottom of the market and facing a difficult night against opponents who are strongly fancied to control the fixture before a packed house.
The arena is completely sold out, Slovakia are heavy favourites at 1/6 with Coral, and the stakes are high with promotion on the line from the off.
Slovakia vs Moldova Form
Slovakia open a fresh chapter under Vladimír Weiss, who returns for a second managerial spell and takes charge of his first competitive fixture here. The boss has been clear about the target, wanting a win off the back of a strong performance to push for direct promotion to Division B.
Moldova come into this one as sizeable underdogs, reflected by a market that has them at the very bottom of the win pricing. The visitors will need a stubborn, disciplined display to keep the hosts at bay on the road.

Slovakia vs Moldova Prediction & Best Bets
Our prediction: This looks a comfortable night for the hosts. Slovakia are heavily fancied at home, the market has them as short as 1/6 with Coral, and we expect Weiss's side to see this out with plenty to spare.
Best Bets
Back Slovakia on the -1.5 goal handicap. With the hosts such strong home favourites and carrying the attacking edge in this fixture, a multi-goal margin looks very much on the cards against a Moldova side rated the clear outsiders.
Back 'No' in the Both Teams To Score market. Moldova have struggled for output against stronger European opposition, and with Slovakia expected to dominate proceedings, a home clean sheet is well within reach.
Slovakia vs Moldova Bet Builder
Our Slovakia vs Moldova bet builder tips back the hosts to win, David Strelec to score anytime and Moldova to be kept off the scoresheet, playing to Slovakia's home dominance.
Leg one is Slovakia in the Win Market. The hosts are heavy favourites at a full house at the Futbal Tatran Arena and are fancied to control the game against outsiders Moldova.
Leg two is David Strelec to score anytime. With Slovakia expected to lead the line and carry the attacking threat, the striker is well placed to get on the scoresheet.
Leg three is 'No' on whether both sides find the net. Moldova have struggled going forward against stronger sides, so a Slovakia clean sheet ties this build together neatly.
Together these legs lean on the same theme: a controlled home win with Strelec on target and Moldova kept quiet, which makes for a coherent build across three markets.
At the time of writing, this bet builder pays a best price of 19/10 and is as short as 34/25 elsewhere.
