There is no room for mistakes when Italy take on Moldova in their penultimate 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifier in the November international window.
The Azzurri find themselves second in Group I, currently out of reach of directly punching their ticket to the United States, Canada and Mexico next summer. After coming up short in their last two World Cup playoff ties, Italy will be desperate to pull off a miracle and finish atop their group.
Gennaro Gattuso’s men must collect three points against Moldova to keep the pressure on first-place Norway, who they are set to face later this weekend. The slim hope Italy have of potentially leapfrogging Erling Haaland and co. in the table would disappear if they drop points on Thursday evening.
Led by Manchester City star Gianluigi Donnarumma, the 2020 European champions will like their odds against a Moldova side that has not won a single fixture in nearly one year.
Here’s how you can watch Italy’s upcoming clash with Moldova on TV and live stream.
