Prediction: 1-0
Belarus
Luxembourg will look to put an end to their three-game losing run in all competitions when they take on Belarus on Sunday afternoon. Luxembourg suffered a 2-0 loss to Northern Ireland in their opener, but they are seen as favourites to win their first home game of the process. Mica Pinto is widely expected to return to the starting XI, while there are no fresh injury worries in Luc Holtz’s team.
Belarus, on the other hand, failed to win the previous five games in all competitions. As Carlos Alos’ men were more than fortunate not to suffer a loss to Bulgaria (0-0) in their opener, we are tempted to put our money on the home side. A man to keep an eye on in the visiting team will be Astana attacking midfielder Maks Ebong, who produced a fine display in Belarus’ Nations League opener.
Highlighted Team (Luxembourg):
Luxembourg national football team is controlled by Luxembourg Football Federation and they play their home games at Stade Josy Barthel. Les Lions Rouges have never qualified for the finals of a major tournament, but they often make life difficult for European teams in the qualifiers.
Luxembourg defeated Macedonia in the Euro 2016 qualifiers, but a victory over Czech Republic in the 1996 European Championship qualifying match is considered the team’s biggest success. Les Lions Rouges play their home matches in red shirts and red shorts, while they wear white jerseys and white shorts when playing on the travels.
Jeff Strasser is both the most famous and the most capped Luxembourg player and it has to be noted that the former Bundesliga player made 98 appearances for the national team. Luxembourg recorded their biggest win against Afghanistan (6-0), in the match that was played in London in 1948. Speaking of their biggest defeat, Luxembourg were outclassed by England 9-0 on two occasions (1960, 1982).
