Moldova host Slovakia in the UEFA Nations League. Moldova have been struggling to find wins lately, while Slovakia's results have been a bit up and down themselves.
The pair only met a few days ago, with Slovakia winning comfortably as hosts. This time the venue flips, with Moldova at home, so it's worth seeing whether that changes much.

Slovakia's record looks healthier on paper, with three wins from six games, a draw and two defeats. Both those losses came away from home, against Israel and Greece, so their away form hasn't matched their home results.
Slovakia's away struggles are worth watching now that Moldova get home advantage.

Now they meet again just days later, same pairing but with Moldova hosting instead of Slovakia.
What might shape this one
Given Moldova's winless run and the goals they've been conceding, another tough defensive night for the hosts looks likely. Slovakia will fancy building on their recent win, though their inconsistent away form means this isn't straightforward for them either.
With the sides having just played each other, Slovakia will have a fresh look at how Moldova set up. Whether that familiarity outweighs the venue swap is the open part of this one.

There's enough here to say this could go either way. Moldova's recent record makes them hard to trust, but Slovakia's away struggles keep this from being a one-sided call.
With nothing to work from on the market side, we'll sit this one out rather than force a pick.
Who will win?
