Israel vs Moldova Prediction and Betting Tips | November 16th 2025

Israel and Moldova bring their 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifying campaign to an end on Sunday when they lock horns at the Zimbru Stadium. Both sides have missed out on a spot in the global tournament and will be looking to close out their qualifying journey on a high.

Israel picked up another disappointing result on Thursday when they were held to a goalless draw by Lithuania in their friendly fixture at the S. Darius and S. Gireno Stadium.

Ran Ben Simon’s men now turn their focus to the World Cup qualifiers, where they have lost each of their last three games, a run that saw them miss out on securing a place in the tournament next year.

Israel have picked up nine points from their seven qualifying matches so far to sit third in the Group I standings, nine points behind second-placed Italy.

Moldova, meanwhile, head into the final group game still in search of their first taste of victory in what has been a dismal qualifying campaign.

Lilian Popescu’s side picked up one draw and lost six of their seven matches in Group I while conceding a staggering 28 goals and scoring just four so far.

Moldova are currently on a run of 10 consecutive games without a win, losing eight and picking up two draws since a 1-0 victory over Andorra in November 2024.

Israel vs Moldova Head-To-Head and Key Numbers

• Israel have been imperious in the history of this fixture, having picked up six wins and three draws from the previous nine meetings between the two teams.
• Moldova have failed to win all but one of their last 12 games in all competitions, losing nine and claiming two draws since October 2024.
• Israel have failed to win their last four matches in all competitions, losing three and picking up one draw since beating Moldova 4-0 on September 5.
• Moldova have lost each of their most recent four matches on home soil, conceding 14 goals and scoring twice since a 2-0 victory over Andorra in October 2024.

Israel vs Moldova Prediction

With their hopes of qualification already over, Israel and Moldova will be playing for pride here as they look to close out the campaign on a positive note.

Simon’s men boast the firepower needed to get the job done, and given their dominance in this fixture, we are tipping them to secure all three points in Moldova.

Prediction: Israel 3-1 Moldova
