Recent form points different ways

Kazakhstan's last five results show two wins, one draw and two defeats, a mixed set, but one that includes victories over NAM and COM earlier this year. Moldova have drawn two and lost three of their last five. The visitors' most recent outing was a draw with ARM, the same opponent Kazakhstan met in their previous fixture, also finishing level.

The head-to-head record leans heavily toward the hosts. Kazakhstan have won three of the five meetings listed, losing twice, with the most recent encounter in March 2022 going Moldova's way by a single goal. The five matches produced ten goals in total. Before that result, Kazakhstan had won two and lost one of the three previous meetings, suggesting the fixture has been competitive without being especially high-scoring.

What the table does not show

Neither side's league position is recorded in the data available, so where this match sits in the wider picture of the group remains unclear. The table shown places France top on six points from two matches, with Belgium and Italy both on three points and Türkiye on none, but Kazakhstan and Moldova's standings are not given. What is clear is that Moldova arrive in Astana without a win in five and will need to reverse that run if they are to take anything from the trip.
