BIG MATCH GUIDE

Where and when: Zimbru Stadium, Chisinau, 7.45pm Odds (courtesy of Sky Bet) Moldova win - 9/1 Draw - 100/30 Wales win - 4/11 Key Man (Wales) Will once again be talismanic forward Gareth Bale. The 28-yearold may be enduring some difficult times at Real Madrid at the moment, but he remains the main man for his country. By his standards he enjoyed a quiet game in the win over Austria, but he will surely back himself to bag a goal or two here. Key Man (Moldova) Cagliari midfielder Artur Ionita has been lynchpin of the Moldovan side for the last nine years and has a total of 27 caps to his name. A strong run of form for previous club Hellas Verona in Serie A once saw him linked with Juventus, Napoli and Swansea. He has the ability to hurt Wales and will be a handful for a returning Joe Allen in the centre of the park. When do the other teams in the group play? Republic of Ireland host leaders Serbia in a top-of-the-table clash that could have significant repercussions on Wales’s qualifying hopes.

The match at the Aviva Stadium kicks off at 7.45pm, and many Welsh fans will be keeping a close eye on developments. Meanwhile, Austria take on Georgia in Vienna at the same time. Predicted line-ups Moldova: Cebanu; Cebotaru, Posmac, Epureanu, Armas; Dedov, Ionita, Cojocari, Anton, Cociuc; Ginsari. Wales: Hennessey; Chester, Williams, B Davies; Gunter, Taylor; Allen, Ledley; Ramsey, Bale; Vokes.
