Norway are on offer at -3333 to land a victory in this World Cup qualifying clash, with the red-hot favourites having a 97% probability of succeeding on the basis of the Full-Time Result odds. The +4500 means that Moldova are seen as having by far the lowest probability of succeeding.
You can back Norway at -333 on the Half-Time Result market, meaning you need them to be ahead at the break. Moldova are +1600 and the draw is chalked up at +310.
