Thu Oct 10 17:30:51 UTC 2024: ## Moldova Aim for Third Straight Win as Andorra Seek First Points in Nations League

**Chisinau, Moldova** – Moldova will be looking to extend their winning streak to three matches when they host Andorra in a UEFA Nations League Group D clash on Thursday. The hosts are in high spirits following a 2-0 win over Malta and a 1-0 friendly victory against San Marino, while Andorra are desperate for a positive result after losing their last five internationals.

Moldova’s recent form, including a perfect record in their last four Nations League matches, will give them confidence heading into the encounter. They are aiming for promotion to League C after narrowly missing out last season. However, Andorra will be hoping to build on their improved performance in the last Nations League campaign where they secured two victories against Liechtenstein.

The teams have met on four previous occasions, with Moldova holding a 3-1 advantage. The hosts have won their last two matches against Andorra, including a 2-1 victory in their most recent encounter in June 2022.

Moldova manager Serghei Clescenco will be missing midfielder Serafim Cojocari due to injury, but otherwise, he has a strong squad to choose from. Striker Ion Nicolaescu could be a key player for the hosts, while Andorra’s main attacking threat is expected to come from forward Berto Rosas.

Despite Andorra’s struggles in front of goal – failing to score in 11 of their last 12 matches – the game promises to be a tight affair. Moldova’s recent dominance and Andorra’s lack of attacking potency suggests that the home side are the favorites to claim victory and continue their impressive run.
