Liga 1 Standings & Stats

The Liga 1 2026/27 season is Moldova's top professional football league, featuring 8 clubs competing for the title between June 27 and July 12, 2026. After an explosive start with all teams having played two matches, reigning champions Petrocub sit at the summit of the table with maximum points.

Liga 1 Table

After the first two matchdays, Petrocub lead the standings with 6 points from two commanding victories, having scored 7 goals and conceded just 1. Sheriff Tiraspol and Zimbru Chisinau follow closely with 4 points each, both yet to concede a goal. Dacia-Buiucani and FC Balti have 3 points apiece, while FC Politehnica Chisinau and Milsami occupy the bottom two positions with 1 point each, both struggling for goals. The table remains extremely tight, but early signs point to Petrocub's attacking strength as a decisive factor.

Favorites & Title Chances

Based on current form, points, and historical context, three teams emerge as the main contenders for the Liga 1 2026/27 crown:

• Petrocub (approx. 50% title chance) – The defending champions and statistically the most successful club in the league's history. With two wins and a +6 goal difference already, their fast start and proven pedigree make them the team to beat. Their 5–0 demolition of Milsami underlines their firepower.
• Sheriff Tiraspol (approx. 30%) – Moldova's traditional powerhouse, with a solid defensive record (0 goals against) and a game in hand of sorts on Petrocub in terms of points lost. If they can translate their clean sheets into more wins, they will push the leaders all the way.
• Zimbru Chisinau (approx. 15%) – Also unbeaten and yet to concede, Zimbru have shown they can grind out results. Their 3–0 victory over FC Balti demonstrates quality, but they must improve consistency to overtake the frontrunners.

While the short season means any slip-ups will be costly, the percentages reflect the gap in squad depth and recent achievements.

Season Stats

The 8 teams have produced 20 goals in 8 matches, averaging 2.50 goals per game. Petrocub are not only the most successful club in Liga 1 history but also the most prolific so far, netting 7 times. Last season's winner, as confirmed by official data, was also Petrocub. Defensively, Sheriff and Zimbru share the best record with zero goals conceded, while Milsami have the leakiest backline with 5 goals against. Despite the early stage, the variance in performance hints at a competitive race for European spots and a potential relegation battle – though no relegation format is specified, the bottom two teams will need a quick turnaround.
