Prediction for Moldova vs Scotland: Steve Clarke's side can secure second spot in Group F with narrow win in Moldova

Scotland travel to Moldova knowing that a win in the Zimbru Stadium will guarantee them second spot behind Denmark

Scotland travel to Moldova knowing that they will secure second spot in Group F behind runaway leaders Denmark if they match Israel's result against Austria.

And Steve Clarke's men should really be capable of doing exactly that.

Moldova sit bottom of Group F with just a single point on the board, which they earned in a 1-1 draw with the Faroe Islands in March, and their seven defeats in this qualifying group have seen them slip down to 181 in the FIFA world rankings. They have shipped 24 goals in this campaign, three per game.

Scotland managed just a single goal in the reverse fixture between these sides but they racked up 16 shots on goal (seven on target) in what turned into quite a frustrating evening.

Steve Clarke's side rarely wipe the floor with anyone, indeed their last four wins have all been by a single goal, but they have found the net in every one of their eight qualifying games and and they will be very keen to get second spot sewn up before their final game against Denmark, who haven't conceded a goal in this qualifying group.

Prediction for Moldova vs Scotland

Moldova have contributed just four goals to the 28 that they have been involved with in their eight Group F games so it's no surprise that Scotland are a restrictive 7/10 to win this game to nil.

Moldova will likely set to out to frustrate Scotland once again so it's unlikely that Steve Clarke's side are going to run away with this. On that basis, the 5/1 about a repeat 1-0 scoreline from the reverse fixture makes a fair bit of appeal.

Recommended bet: Scotland to win 1-0 - 5/1
