<p data-start="3899" data-end="4212">Estonia’s <strong data-start="3909" data-end="3920">4-2-3-1</strong> formation focuses on stability and defensive solidity.

<p data-start="4214" data-end="4491">Moldova’s <strong data-start="4224" data-end="4233">4-3-3</strong> setup is designed to absorb pressure and strike on the counter.
