Scotland are a win away from securing a playoff spot from Group F of the 2022 World Cup qualifiers and will aim for the three points at stake when they travel to Moldova. The two sides are on opposite ends in this group, the Scots second with 17 points while Moldova have managed just one point from eight matches. Moldova head into this game with five straight losses; they have one win only in their last 26 matches across all competitions. In attack, they haven’t done so well either; they’ve failed to score in three of their last five matches. Defensively it has been the same story of poor performances – having conceded two or more goals in four of their last five matches. Moldova have never defeated Scotland; they’ve met three times and Scotland have two wins with one ending in a draw.

Scotland have four straight wins ahead of this game, a run that has propelled them to second spot, having earlier seemed unable to get there. They now have a slightly easier job, to win this and secure a playoff spot, with Denmark having been confirmed top place finishers. In three of their last four matches, Scotland have kept clean sheets and in attack Lyndon Dykes has delivered the needed goals. In the last four matches, the Queens Park Rangers forward has scored four goals. Scotland go to this game with two straight clean sheets in away matches and have only lost once in their last 14 World Cup qualification matches.
