Moldova
Match Time & Date:

Prediction: 2-0
Luxembourg
As expected, Moldova defeated San Marino on the road, but Thursday’s football match was anything but a walk in the park for the former Soviet republic. The Moldovans were struggling to break the deadlock, but they eventually scored the winner in the 77th minute of the match. Moldova are eager to finish the process in second place in the standings, but they need to beat Luxembourg at home in their last group game if they are to turn their dream into reality. Luxembourg have been playing above expectations in the UEFA Nations League, with the team sitting in second place in the standings ahead of the trip to Chisinau. However, seeing that they failed to impress in a 2-0 loss to Belarus on Thursday evening, we are tempted to put our money on the Moldovans, who are eyeing their fifth consecutive clean sheet in Group 2.

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).
