Players to Watch

Oscar Gloukh (Israel)

From controlling the midfield to helping his side up front, Oscar Gloukh will be a key asset for the Israel national football team. He has come up with decent performances for AFC Ajax in the Eredivisie this season and will now be looking to do so for the Skyblue and Whites. He is going to be a constant threat to the opponent’s defence.

Ion Nicolaescu (Moldova)

Even though he failed to score a goal in the previous fixture of the Moldova national football team, Ion Nicolaescu can play an important role in the attacking front for them. He will be looking to step up his style of approach to the game so that he can become more useful in the final third for the visitors.
