Moldova vs Republic of Ireland Predictions, Betting Tips and Preview

Moldova vs Republic of Ireland predictions and betting tips in another World Cup qualifier for Russia 2018 which is set to be played on Sunday evening with kick off scheduled for 19:45.

 

This tie will be the third game for both sides here and with Moldova currently occupying the bottom spot with 0 points it is difficult to see them making any sort of progress within this group. Republic of Ireland are fourth in the group but no points separate them from the top spot so the group really is open here, this is a great chance to take three points and get to the top of the pile.

 

Moldova vs Republic of Ireland Predictions

 

No doubt the Republic of Ireland are favourites here, the hosts have only won one game in their last 23 attempts. They aren’t a team who normally get blown away by the opposition as the results are quite close but their last teams games have saw them get beat 4-0 by Wale and then 3-0 by Serbia. This is probably the best time to play them as their confidence will be extremely low. My first Moldova vs Republic of Ireland prediction is Ireland to be winning at half-time and full-time at odds of 29/20 with Bet Victor.

Over/Under 2.5 Goals Betting Tips

I have mentioned that Moldova are not a team who get involved in many high scoring games, until recently of course when their last three games have saw over 2.5 goals. Republic of Ireland are a bit of a hit and miss when coming to high scoring games, they are either involved in one goal game or three or four. I think the ROI will go for this game as it is a very good chance of going to the top of group, or at least putting pressure on the others to perform. My second Moldova vs Republic of Ireland betting tip is over 2.5 goals at 6/5 with Bet Victor.

 

Over 2.5 goals – 6/5 with Bet Victor.

 

First Goalscorer Tips

Finally, Shane Long is a very good striker and I have already made it obvious I am backing the ROI here in my football betting tips. Long has yet to score in the qualifiers and this is a good opportunity for him to bag one, if not more. My final Moldova vs. Republic of Ireland prediction is going to be Shane Long to score first at 7/2 with Bet365.

Moldova vs Rep of Ireland Team News

The ROI have quite a few players missing for this game but should still have enough to go on and win. Murphy is out with a calf injury and he is joined by Quinn, Westwood, Doyle, McGeady, Pilkington and Wilson. The boss is still unsure on the fitness of McCarthy and Arter also.

 

Moldova vs Rep of Ireland Betting Odds

There are plenty of options worth looking at here, I may sound contradicting but it does play on the back of your mind what Moldova can do especially with the decent amount of ROI first teamers missing. I would consider looking at Moldova draw no bet at 9/2 with Bet Victor, this could cover and upset and refunded stake if it ends a draw. Secondly, if you’re a little doubtful and feel this could be a boring game then the 0-0 score line looks tempting at 0-0 at 17/2 with PaddyPower.
