Moldova and Italy face off in the qualifiers for the 2026 World Cup.
Italy does not want to slip up because they still have a remote chance of qualifying directly and, if not, their points tally could have an impact if they go through the playoffs and need them for the seedings and to be a top seed.
Here are the starting elevens for both teams:
