Prediction: 2-1
Luxembourg
Following a slim 1-1 draw with Northern Ireland, Switzerland will be aiming to return to winning ways when they welcome Luxembourg to their Kybunpark on Tuesday evening. The Rossocrociati are on a an eight-game winless run in all competitions, but they will not have a better chance than this to get back on course. Even though boss Murat Yakin is expected to mix the squad, home win should be considered. Both Manuel Akanji and Granit Xhaka have been left out of the squad, but there are no fresh injury worries in the home team.
Die Roten Lowen, on the other hand, did remarkably well to beat Sweden thanks to Seid Korac’s goal, meaning that they are high on confidence ahead of the trip to Kybunpark. A man to keep an eye on in the away team will be Gerson Rodrigues, who is likely to prove a handful for the opposition back-line.
Highlighted Player (Granit Xhaka):
Granit Xhaka is widely regarded as one of Europe’s most talented central midfielders at the moment and he is on the radar of quite a few high-profile sides. Just two seasons at FC Basel proved enough to attract interest from Borussia M’gladbach, who secured his signature in the summer of 2012.
The Switzerland international had a slow start to his career in Germany, causing many pundits to start doubting his credentials, but he eventually turn things around to show he is more than capable of playing at the highest level. Acting as a deep-lying playmaker, Xhaka impressed fans and pundits alike with his performances in Bundesliga and European competitions, and he even managed to score a couple of important goals in the process.
Despite his fragile age, the highly regarded footballer has been a key member of the Switzerland national team for quite some time now, scoring 6 goals in his first 40 caps to establish himself as a real leader of the Rossocrociati. The 2014 World Cup, where he scored one goal in four starts, should prove just the first of many major tournaments to come.
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).
