Moldova It's just a simple friendly and usually I don't get involved but I feel like I know a lot of things about both sides, so I've got to come with this one. It's useless to mention that Croatia are a step above Moldova from every point of view, they've been in amazing form during the qualifiers and are one of my favourites for the Euro. You just watch these guys, they're gonna put in trouble a lot of teams I feel. However when we talk about today's match it's different.

Firstly, it's just a friendly which has the mission to test the game relations, see maybe new players, grow up confidence, but no other serious reason involved. At least for Croatia. Secondly, the Moldavians are in uptrend lately, and that only happens thanks to the new coach they got - Dobrovolsky - which makes wonders if you ask me. The Moldavians will be missing several regulars, but the good thing with this bet is that the motivation is high, they treat Croatia like a more than decent opponent and will play as serious as possible like any other official match. And if you still don't know how Moldova usually play, especially against high rated sides, here's the amnswer: DEFENCE! It's well-organized team who play defensive-minded football and hit you on counters, the same happened against Hungary and they got it 3-0. Another good point is that the pitch in Rijeka is far from being in good conditions, which favours the visitors more if you ask me. One thing is to defend and tackle, and completely different is to pass the ball and create chances, like Croatia will have to do should they want to score.

I still have many to say but I'll just end up my preview with my estimation, the Ah line should have been set more close to -1.5:+1.5 in my view.
