MOLDOVA are usually rolled over at home and are minnows with a capital M.
Wales visit Chisinau tonight and it's really a matter of many they score.
Moldova have just two points in Group D and won two of their last 32 – friendlies against Andorra and San Marino.
They lost the reverse game 4-0 in Cardiff and haven't given home fans much to cheer since they beat Kyrgyzstan more than four years ago.
So Wales look good for accumulators at 4-11 with McBookie and must have a chance of beating the -1 handicap at 11-10 with Paddy Power.
Moldova have conceded at least two in their last eight home matches and three in this campaign to top two Serbia and Ireland.
To score 2+ Wales are 4-6 with Coral and 2-1 for 3+ with McBookie.
Gareth Bale failed to net in the vital win against Austria on Saturday and will hope to fill his boots. He is 2-1 at Betfred to score first and 3-4 with William Hill to net at any time.
Moldova could suffer from set-pieces and either James Chester at 35-1 or Ashley Williams at 45-1 could be worth a small first-scorer punt.
Wales trail Serbia by four and Ireland by two ahead of those countries clashing in Dublin.
It was a draw in Belgrade and tonight could be another stalemate which would suit the Serbians better than the Irish who dropped two precious points in Georgia at the weekend.
Martin O'Neill's men haven’t lost a qualifying fixture at home since 2013 and but the Serbs are a talented side and stalemate pays 85-40 at McBookie while a score draw is 15-4.
Austria's defeat in Cardiff means they've got virtually no chance of second spot but they should bounce back by beating Georgia at home. They are 2-5 at sportingbet.
Elsewhere Spain are 1-100 to win at Liechtenstein with the handicap line set at -5. They could cover it but if he starts a better bet is Real Madrid wonderkid Marco Asensio to score first at 11-2 with bet365.
Italy were well beaten in Spain at the weekend but should take a step closer to clinching a play-off spot by beating Israel at home.
The Italians are no bigger than 1-7 to win so back them on the -1 handicaps at 1-2 with Ladbrokes.
Israel have had another poor campaign with only one clean sheet and conceding two goals a game. Italy should win this by at least two or three.
Finland tempt at 10-11 with Betfred at Kosovo after winning at home to Iceland but fair play to the Kosovans who limited Croatia to a 1-0 win in Zagreb.
