Jan

Moldova put up a significant fight against France but ended up losing to a penalty from Olivier Giroud. This was a game expected to be a comfortable victory for France considering that the two teams had a huge gulf in class.

France came into the game as the reigning world champions while Moldova are ranked 175th according to FIFA. This match took place just a few hours after France’s qualification to Euro 2020 was confirmed. Perhaps, this may have been a factor behind France having a lackadaisical approach to the match but they were almost made to pay for this mistake.

Apr

Moldova begin the Euro 2020 qualification campaign with a home match against France. This is a remarkably tough encounter for the Moldovan national team as it represents a game against the defending world champions. Manager Alexandru Spiridon says that there is a great deal of excitement within the players and the staff about the prospect of facing players like Antoine Griezmann and Kylian Mbappe. Moldova’s biggest challenge will be to avoid a big defeat as one of the minnows in the group stages. The expectations from Moldova are already low as a result of being placed in a group containing the likes of France, Turkey, and Iceland.

Effectively, Moldova will be fighting to avoid the bottom of the group with the likes of Andorra. In order to try and get anything out of the match against the reigning champions, Alexandru Spiridon says that a very strong atmosphere is essential. The match, though, will probably represent the toughest game in the career of Moldova players and manager. However, opposition midfielder Paul Pogba, who is considered as one of the best in the world, claims that Moldova will be a difficult challenge since the nation – ranked 170th in the world – does not have anything to lose.Spiridon agreed with this statement but refused to add too much to such mind games.

The final four spots will be provided by the play-offs, which will be contested by 16 outfits.

France and Albania find themselves in the same group as the Euro 2016. Albania, though, will find it harder to reach the finals this time around.
