oneteaminglasgow Posted November 8, 2021 Share Posted November 8, 2021 (edited) Moldova haven’t got a single player playing in a better rated league than the Scottish Premiership. Their best players, from the looks of things, play for Olympiacos (a left back who you’d assume will be decent), a Serie B side, and in the Slovakian and Romanian leagues. Their recent squads have featured guys playing in Serie D, the Japanese second tier and the worst team in the Belgian second tier. They're fucking pish, and we should be winning comfortably. Edit: I suppose it should suffice to say that there’s good reasons why teams end up in pot 6 - because they have mostly quite bad players.

In 8 (eight) years, Moldova have beaten Azerbaijan, San Marino, and Andorra. They are beneath Andorra in the world rankings, who’s starting XI will include teams from the second tier of middling European nations. We should be winning this handily. Maybe I'm wrong but after watching our game away in the Faroes I'd be surprised if even the most optimistic Scotland fan will be putting money on us to win handily. In fact anyone who thinks this will be a formality put your money where your mouth is and post a screenshot on here.

craigkillie Posted November 8, 2021 Share Posted November 8, 2021 The Faroes are a much better team than Moldova, and we still beat them. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moldova are - by world rankings - the third worst team we’ve played since the 1990s and quite possibly ever. We’ll win this fairly routinely. It might not be pretty but I highly doubt it will be anything remotely like the last away match. By all means, screenshot this and hang it on your wall.

AndyDD Posted November 8, 2021 Share Posted November 8, 2021 Count me among those expecting a fairly comprehensive win. Scotland have far better players, are well managed, have a good squad mentality and are in good form. There's nothing to fear here, beyond tired old 'aye but sometimes we struggle'. The home fixture was very one sided and but for slack finishing the scoreline would have had a fair dodd of gloss on it. Sort that out and we will stick a few goals on them. I still think we should change up our attacking approach in the absence of Dykes, but even if we don't, we still have enough about us to win this without hitting top gear. Moldova are howling and if we don't win the game it will be up there with our worst ever results. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As it happens I enjoy putting the odd bet on here and there, usually put at least one on for a Scotland game, but we're talking a cupla quid or so. Regardless, I feel zero need to prove anything via screenshots to strangers online. Asking for 'proof', for people to 'put their money where their mouth is', good grief, we're talking absolute definition of wee guy behaviour. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2426255 Posted November 8, 2021 Share Posted November 8, 2021 Well I was correct about Israel not being a certainty to win against, Steve Clark not needing to be sacked and Billy Gilmour being overhyped. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't put a bet on Moldova to win because I'm not certain they will win and because I don't normally gamble on football. If I was certain for whatever reason I would make the bet.

thruthenight Posted November 8, 2021 Share Posted November 8, 2021 People tend to lump all 'minnows' into one bucket. The Faroes are a much better side than Moldova. Even with the stakes, I expect this to be a comfortable win for us. Doesn't mean I'm not going to be tense af while watching it though. Comfy win in Moldova, narrow loss to the Danes meaning we're not seeded and then watch us draw Spain. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
