This is the modest stadium where the national team of Moldova plays and where Scotland, this afternoon, will seek to secure its ticket to re-qualification.

Moldova is more than eliminated, but at least they will be looking to avoid finishing last in the group with just one point and catch up with the Faroe Islands, who currently have four points.

Scotland has in its hands a ticket to re-qualification, for that it needs to win this game or wait for a defeat of Israel in a couple of hours.

Lyndon Dykes has scored some important goals that have earned the Scottish national team points and, this Friday, he will have to sharpen his aim to achieve a victory that is budgeted for the Qatar 2022 World Cup.

If they want to get a good result, it will be very important what Cristian Avram can do under the three posts and thus keep the game as close as possible to think about getting some points.

1 Craig Gordon, 13 Jack Hendry, 6 Kieran Tierne, 4 Scott McTominay, 8 Callum McGregor, 7 John McGinn, 14 Billy Gilmour, 3 Andy Robertson, 22 Nathan Patterson, 9 Lyndon Dykes, 10 Ché Adams.

23 Cristian Avram, 5 Veaceslav Posmac, 4 Igor Armas, 6 Maxim Potirniche, 7 Artur Ionita, 18 Cristian Dros, 22 Vadim Rata, 2 Oleg Reabciuk, 15 Ion Jardan, 10 Eugeniu Cociuc, 17 Artiom Puntus.

Despite the fact that the direct ticket to the World Cup in this sector already belongs to Denmark, Scotland has had a good qualifying campaign and is the runner-up in the sector with 17 points, four points behind Israel; therefore, with a victory they would secure the second place and their pass to the play-offs to fight for a World Cup ticket.

The level of a modest Moldovan team has been demonstrated in these qualifiers by having only one point and being in the basement of the sector, however, they will try to give satisfaction to their fans and, at the same time, put the foot on their rival's foot.

The Moldova vs Scotland match will be played at the Zimbu Stadium, in Chisináu, Moldova. The kick-off is scheduled at 12:00 pm ET.

My name is Adrian Hernandez and I will be your host for this game. We will provide you with pre-game analysis, roster updates, and news as it happens live here on VAVEL.
