Moldova host Kazakhstan in Chisinau on Friday 13 November, 5.00pm (UK time), with both sides looking to sign off their Nations League Group C campaign on a high after a long and largely chastening autumn.
We have been through the form, the recent meeting between the pair and the bet365 markets to land on our best bets, and with both teams short of goals of late, this has the feel of a cagey, low-scoring affair in the Moldovan capital.
Premium Tips
Here are our two favourite Premium Tips for Moldova vs Kazakhstan, taken at the best prices we can find across our featured bookmakers.
| Premium Tip | Odds | Why we’re backing it |
|---|---|---|
| Moldova draw no bet | 5/6 (BoyleSports) | Moldova got the better of this exact fixture only last month, winning 2-1 away in Astana for their first victory of the group. That result aside, the hosts have been well organised in front of their own supporters, and with home advantage counting for plenty at this level we are happy to side with Lilian Popescu’s side on the draw-no-bet market, which hands us our stake back if the points are shared. |
| Moldova to win to nil | 10/3 (BoyleSports) | Kazakhstan have not been prolific on their travels and managed only a single goal when the pair met in October. Moldova, for their part, have kept things tight at home throughout this group, so if they are to take the points we fancy them to do so with a clean sheet. At better than 3/1, Moldova to win to nil looks a tidy each-way style play on a game we expect to be settled by the odd goal. |

How Moldova go into the game
Moldova go into this one under Lilian Popescu, who has been in charge since September 2025 and is still searching for consistency from a limited group. The high point of their Nations League campaign came in October, when they travelled to Kazakhstan and came away 2-1 winners for their first points of the group.
Elsewhere it has been a struggle. A 1-1 draw at home to the Faroe Islands was followed by a heavy 0-4 defeat away to Slovakia last time out, with an earlier 2-0 loss to the same opponents underlining how tough the campaign has been. Goals have been in short supply at both ends, and Moldova have leaned on their work off the ball to stay competitive.
Home form is their best hope here. Moldova have made themselves awkward to beat in Chisinau, and against a Kazakhstan side they have already got the better of this autumn, they will fancy their chances of a positive result in front of their own fans.
How Kazakhstan go into the game
Kazakhstan arrive under Talgat Baisufinov, who returned to the national team role and oversaw a competitive World Cup qualifying campaign that included a thumping 4-0 win over Liechtenstein and a creditable 1-1 draw with Belgium.
The Nations League has been more of a grind. The defeat at home to Moldova in October was a blow, and Baisufinov’s side will be desperate to put that right on the road. On their day Kazakhstan carry more individual quality than most at this level, but turning that into goals away from home has been the issue.
A long trip to Chisinau at the back end of a demanding international window is not the most straightforward assignment, and Kazakhstan will need to be sharper in the final third than they were when the sides last met.
Moldova vs Kazakhstan head-to-head
These two are familiar foes, having been drawn together in this same Nations League group. The most recent meeting came in October, when Moldova won 2-1 away in Kazakhstan, so the hosts will take real confidence into the return. With that game the only recent competitive fixture of note between the pair, we have gone with a short write-up rather than a full head-to-head table.

Moldova vs Kazakhstan score prediction
Everything about this one points to a tight, low-scoring game between two sides low on confidence and short of goals. Moldova have the edge of home advantage and the psychological boost of having beaten Kazakhstan 2-1 only last month, and while the draw is a real possibility, we just lean towards the hosts nicking it by the odd goal in front of their own supporters. Score prediction: Moldova 1-0 Kazakhstan.
